Stress around food storage can stop us from cooking a new recipe or from enjoying leftovers. To change this I am tracking how to store each kind of food. 

Each method is based on my own reading and experiences, and I recommend seeking [reviewed literature](#reviewed-literature) if looking for health and safety rigor.

- [Carrots, chopped](#carrots-chopped)
- [Carrots, raw](#carrots-raw)
- [Herbs](#herbs)

### Carrots, chopped
1. Wash and dry carrots
2. Fill container with an inch of water
3. Put carrots in water and place lid on container
4. Every 3-5 days drain the water and refill
5. Store in fridge for up to 3 weeks

### Carrots, raw
1. Do not wash
2. Wipe dust and residue water off carrots
3. Place carrots in airtight bag or container with clean kitchen towel 
4. Store in fridge for up to 3 months

Optionally, green ends can be snipped off and [stored as hardy herbs.](#loose-herbs)

### Herbs

Hardy herbs like Chives, Rosemary, Sage, Savory, and Thyme:
1. Wash and dry herbs
2. Separate dry herbs onto a damp paper towel
3. Roll paper towel over each herb, creating a swirl
4. Place wrapped herbs in airtight airtight bag or container<commit_msg>Reorganize<commit_after>---
