How can I store vegetables for a long time?

There are several methods for long-term storage of vegetables, such as freezing, canning, and dehydrating. What vegetables are you looking to store?

I'm mainly interested in storing carrots and potatoes.

For carrots, you can freeze them after blanching or store them in a cool, dark place in sand. Potatoes should be kept in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area. Do you want more details on any specific method?

Yes, can you explain how to freeze carrots properly?

Sure! First, wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into your desired size. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then quickly cool them in ice water. Drain and pack them in airtight containers or freezer bags before placing them in the freezer.

Thanks! What about storing potatoes?

For potatoes, keep them in a dark, cool place with good ventilation. Avoid storing them in the fridge, as it can alter their flavor. Make sure they are dry and free from blemishes before storage.
