Something I Learned about Baby Carrots
Last week I was at Ralph’s to buy some some baby carrots and dip. I figured I’d eat the first one pretty quick, so I decided to get a second bag, freeze it and eat it maybe next week.
Apparently when you freeze baby carrots they lose all consistency and turn into a gross rubber-like substance. Not a pretty sight.
Proof:
And that’s how I learned that.
I did not taste them.
Leave one
Correction: it happens when you thaw them out.
It’s the same principal as to why you can’t freeze a human being and thaw them out and have them be fine =). It f*cks up the cellular structure somehow.
Oddly enough… I find that incredibly interesting and not morbid at all. I guess that’s why cryogenics isn’t tops right now
ooohhhh i like the how the comment nesting looks
Did you thaw it out first?
of course I did
There’s a really good episode of This American Life called “Mistakes Were Made” that deals with this particular problem in early cryogenics. Very worth checking out.
