Akelajo Connell, GA E ven with the newest and most modern fridges, I still wrap my carrots and many of my other vegetables in newsprint. Our newspapers use vegetable-based inks so it doesn't hurt the food. By doing this my veggies last a lot longer. Take carrots out of bag, cut off tops and wrap in newsprint as if you were wrapping flowers. Put back in plastic bag and store in fridge.
Paper absorbs moisture and keeps veggies fresh and crisp.
You also recycle newsprint. I n Michigan there is a scanning law. It says that if you are overcharged by a scanner the establishment must pay you ten times the difference of the error-not less than one dollar and not more than five. The only catch is you have to leave the store and then walk back in to collect the money. Perhaps other states are adopting similar consumer protection.
