Information that needs to be shared!
The smallcocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the largercrooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts andshapes them into cocktail carrots - most people probably know thisalready.
What you may notknow and should know is the following:
Once the carrotsare cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of waterand chlorine in order to preserve them. (this is the same chlorine used in yourpool)
Since they do nothave their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose ofchlorine.
You will noticethat once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a whitecovering will form on the carrots. This is the chlorine which resurfaces. Atwhat cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasingvegetables?
Chlorine is avery well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer.. I thought this was worthpassing on. Pass it on to as many people as possible in hopes of informing themwhere these carrots come from and how they are processed.
