Bit of tid info re: Baby carrots

Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Just received this provocative message, starting with "Please Read ...... pass it on" from a dear friend of ours; and I thought I would share it with you.

For years, we have always enjoyed the 'tid' baby carrots; great for stews, our turkey soup, other soups, veggie dips, etc. However, I have noticed a bit of 'white film', after the carrots have been sitting in our fridge for a bittid few days. I have often wondered 'what is that?' Perhaps this answers my question; and possibly yours, if you have had that tidbit experience!

"PLEASE READ,
I ALWAYS BUY THESE CARROTS, I WILL NOT ANY MORE.

Subject: Baby Carrots - Good to Know

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.

The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots, most people probably know this already.

What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used in your pool) since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for
a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic.

We do hope that this information can be passed on to as many people as
possible in the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed.

Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen (Cancer causing).

Please let us make this information available to as many people as possible.

If you care about your family and friends, pass it on".

Methinks from now on, we will select 'regular' bunches of fresh carrots and will utlize them creatively. Am thinking too, we might attempt to grow tidbit carrots in our bittid patio garden; as there is nothing nicer than home grown produce! Mmmmm. Can taste them already!

Will write a bittidz later today, when I have some encouraging tidbitz to offer.

God Bless.
