Description

Frozen carrots are fresh carrots that have been washed, peeled, cut, and subjected to a quick-freezing process to preserve their flavor, texture, and nutritional value. This ingredient is very practical in the kitchen, as it allows you to have carrots available all year round without them losing their properties or their vibrant color.

Origin: Carrots are a root vegetable native to Central Asia, although today they are cultivated all over the world, especially in temperate regions. Freezing carrots is a modern method that facilitates their storage and use, and has become popular globally.

Properties: Frozen carrots retain most of their nutritional benefits, such as a high content of beta-carotenes (precursors of vitamin A), vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. They are low in calories and add a sweet and crunchy touch to dishes. Being frozen, they save preparation time and help reduce food waste.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: zanahoria congelada, zanahoria ultracongelada, zanahoria precortada congelada.
