Why do carrots start to freeze in the fridge?

Answer 1

Your refrigerator thermostat is set too low. Put a thermometer in your refrigerator and check that the thermostat is working. If you have a dial type, set it in the middle...either 3 or 5 depending on the calebration of your model. The temperature in your crisper should be about 45-50 degrees. That's the reason it's at the lowest point in your refrigerator. Another reason might be that you don't have enough stuff in the fridge. It is a fact that the unit will work more efficiently if it has more in it. Use water as a space filler.

Answer 2

If it is the frost that forms on the surface, which you are thinking of, I believe it is because the water content of the carrot allows it to evaporate in the low-humidity of the fridge. When water evaporates, it cools the molecules around it.

Answer 3

Any food is okay when frozen, it preserves the food. Only if it is stored properly (in a completely sealed and air sucked out of, ziploc bag <-- reccomendation) though. I'm sure they will be okay, just not as fresh. Yet again, I would recommend eating either fresh veggies/carrots or even canned carrots would most likely be better than frozen carrots.

Answer 4

Turn up the refrigerator. If the carrots are freezing so are other things such as eggs. Where you put them could also be a factor, but if any part of the fridge freezes, it is set too low.
