Grated carrot

Hi all,
I've searched through all the threads but cannot find a definitive answer on this - does anyone freeze grated carrot?
I've got quite a few sitting in my fridge past their best, and it would be handy if I could freeze them grated just to bung in stuff from frozen for bulking out purposes. (I know I could chop them and freeze, but that's not what I want to do) Anyone had any success with this or is it a no go?
TIA xx

Yep, you can. A few people on here make a mix of chopped onion, carrot, celery etc to freeze and then bung in a handful to soup/mince etc.0

Yep I do, did a big bag yesterday actually. It can form a bit of a big frozen lump, but just takes a bit of bashing before using!Little lady arrived 13/12/110

Didn't know that. Is it good enough to eat fresh or best just for cooking after having been frozen?0

It normally goes soggy when defrosted so I find it's only really any good for cooking.
I also freeze grated courgettes for bulking out mince dishes and find both carrots and courgettes are better after being frozen and defrosted, as it gets rid of a lot of the excess moisture and you end up adding bulk to the dish without watering it down too much.0 -
It's Thriftlady who I can think of off hand, but I'll be damned if I can find that post!Yep, you can. A few people on here make a mix of chopped onion, carrot, celery etc to freeze and then bung in a handful to soup/mince etc.

Not sure it's the exact post I am looking for, no doubt Mrs T will locate the more specific one but she explains it here in this thread
there may be previous discussion in the oodles of carrots thread.
There is also a thread about freezing carrots,so I will merge your thread with that one later on Lowesy:A

If you open freeze it (I use icecream lids) it is less lumpy. In fact, most things I open freeze so I don't have to deal with lumps.0
