We Finally Know What the White Stuff on Baby Carrots Really Is
The one major downside to baby carrots is that they often feel wet even when freshly purchased. This is because baby carrots are packaged with extra water to keep the baby carrots moist. If baby carrots are exposed to water for too long they will eventually develop a slimy outer layer.
There is a distinct difference between baby carrots that are just wet and baby carrots that feel slimy. If baby carrots feel more like the latter that is an indication that the baby carrots are going bad. Carrots that are both mushy and slimy should absolutely be thrown away immediately.
To confirm if baby carrots are spoiled it is best to judge by smell. A foul odor is a clear sign that something is wrong. In addition baby carrots that feel soft are probably spoiled. If baby carrots feel slightly rubbery they are still edible as long as they are cooked first. Anything softer should be thrown away.
