Some times just two of us cannot eat those baby carrots fast enough before they start getting ...well, slimy ! I do not toss them out. Just wash in cold, running water and use , unless, of course, they are rotten. You can figure that out !
To keep carrots in the bag fresh longer, just add a 6-10 drops of 5% vinegar to the bag. Vinegar is acidic and a mold retardant. Shake the bag around so all carrots are coated. Store in refrigerator. When ready to use, rinse and cook or eat raw.
This method can be used for tofu as well. I cannot eat a pound of tofu fast enough either ! For tofu, add about half teaspoon of vinegar to the ab. one lb. tofu. Add water as usual. Every 3-4 days, change the water anyway and put in fresh vinegar. The vinegar does not effect the taste of the tofu, as far as I can tell.
