IMPORTANT
Those "cute" cocktail carrots that you buy in grocery stores come from deformed crooked big carrots. They are put through a machine to become small cocktail carrots. This part EVERYONE knows - "BUT"
After they are cut to size they are soaked in large vats of water mixed with CHLORINE to preserve them. This is same chlorine you use for your swimming pools.



The reason for this is because they don't have the protection of the skin so they use a GOOD AMOUNT of chlorine.
NOTICE that after you have stored them in the fridge for a while, a white film forms on them - THAT, is the chlorine coming to the surface.

At what cost do we risk our health to have esthetically presentable VEGGIES?????


Well Folks - I think after reading this we will all start making our own carrot sticks out of fresh carrots and keep them in the fridge in water (a few at a time).

Organic produce is the way to go. I've got a stalk of celery in the fridge that after a week is still as firm as crisp as the day purchased.

Things that HAVE to be peeled and cut NOT things that ARE already peeled and cut are always a better choice. But you know what - grow yer own. Even if all one can do is put some dirt in a pot, it's better than getting it from a store.

Glyn, go to Earthbound Farm Organic Salads, Fruits and Vegetables
They have organic mini carrots here in the US, but they may provide a link for you or maybe they ship there. Incredibly tender, delicious and long lasting. I just ate 1/2 a bag, yum!

I had some of these recently, organicly grown. Organic - meaning untouched by chemicals!! Or are they?

chemicals are easy to test for, I do. If you've ever read anything by me you know I trust no one.

Check the web, do some research, read labels and buy smart. I am confident you can find what you are looking for somewhere. More and more people everyday are wising up to the BS that been told to us since science and the FDA started taking payoff to tell us what was good and what was acceptable. the truth is out there my friend! Find it!

Glyn, did you get some info, any luck?
