HOW-TUESDAY | Peel Carrots Quicker! (Hint: don't)

Baby carrots save time and effort because they are already washed and peeled, right? Well, carrots don't ACTUALLY need to be peeled, at all. Or most vegetables, really.

Baby carrots sold in grocery stores are just normal carrots that have been washed (sometimes with a chlorine solution), cut, peeled, rounded, packed in plastic bags, and then shipped.

Locally grown carrots have been harvested this fall, cleaned, and placed in cold storage. Freshly harvested locally grown carrots available in the summer have superior sweetness, flavor, and crunch.

Simply scrub them under water to remove dirt and debris, and they are good to go.

According to scientists from the Tuftsโ€™ HNRCA Antioxidants Research Laboratory, potentially up to half of the nutrients in carrots are found in the peel.

Obviously, you will want to follow foodsafety.gov guidance and consider your own comfort if you are purchasing any product that has been grown utilizing harmful pesticides and herbicides.

It comes down to a personal preference. Some people are more sensitive to the taste of un-peeled vegetables!

HOW-TUESDAY TIP  Lather Local ๐Ÿ›

Soap is something that we use many times a day, every single day, for many things like showering, hand washing, and dish-doing. 

The earliest evidence of soap-making dates back to 2800 BC. It was made by mixing fat, oils, and salts.

Today, the average person uses the equivalent of three bars of soap per week. Many commercial soaps are made of harsh chemicals, additives, preservatives, synthetic colors, and fragrances. The @environmentalworkinggroup database provides more information on the health and environmental risks of these ingredients. 

Handmade soaps made with locally sourced and more recognizable ingredients are a great alternative for your skin and the environment. Goats milk, lard, and herbal soaps are known to be beneficial for dry and sensitive skin. 

Click the link in our bio to find Adirondack Harvest businesses that make or sell local soap (many ship!)
