Carrots with lemon update: Foul!

Posted by Lindsay on December 1, 2014

I noticed a strange slimy film sort of growth on the surface of the carrots… And opened it today to check it out:

There’s something opaque and thick on the surface… I actually thought it may somehow have been a kombucha SCOBY or vinegar-type mother

The carrots underneath look great, though… Sadly, they taste utterly vile!

So, lesson learned: Carrots plus lemon plus salt isn’t the yummy idea I thought it’d be… Or if it is, I did it wrong! Glad I only tried this out with a micro-batch; the compost will do well with this donation of some extra active bacteria.
