Harmony HouseFoods Dehydrated Diced Carrots - Air Dried Vegetables for Soup and Cooked Dishes, Great for Camping, Survival, and Backpacking, 15 Ounce Jar

In a hurry? You need these in your pantry. Just add a tablespoon or two to your favorite soup recipe and in about 10 minutes, no one will ever know that you didn't take an extra 10 minutes to peel and chop fresh carrots. Really. They're that good. And the best part is you never again have to throw out carrots that have grown slimy and root-bound in your fridge's veggie compartment. These stay fresh in the pantry for a couple of years without any preservatives or artificial ingredients added. They taste sweet and fresh once re-hydrated. These are a new pantry staple for me, along with Harmony House's Vegetable Soup Mix and several other dried veggies. Highly recommended for their high quality; a winner!UPDATE 7/26/15: Still love cooking with these, but recently had a brainstorm of a good idea: I've transferred all my dried veggies in my pantry from their plastic containers into widemouth quart size canning jars something like these: Ball 67000 Quart Wide Mouth Mason Jars, Silver Lids pack of 12. Easy access, safe air-tight glass storage & the ingredients are easy to see, at a glance.

The small packed dehydrated, carrots are delicious and clearly harvested at the peak of Flavor. They are tasty with a Naturally, sweet taste with no additives of any kind. They are great For a whole meal. Or to keep in the refrigerator as snacks my dogs also loved them. I have small little dogs so having these so small and soft I don’t have to worry about the dogs choking on them

After reconstituting the carrots they tasted great! I don’t know what I was expecting, but they tasted really good mixed in with some dried onions and green peas reconstituted as well!

I use a lot of dried veggies in soups. It saves on wasted veggies that would be left over and not eaten. Carrot pieces are the best. Can taste the carrot. I would like them to be a little bit larger.

I love this stuff, I use it to make face toners, the smell is amazing and it tightens your skin

I don't know how Harmony House manages to retain such wonderful color and flavor in their dried foods without chemical additives or preservatives, but I sure appreciate that they do.These diced dried carrots are excellent, and a great way to always have carrots on hand for seasoning and cooking while eliminating the problem of having fresh ones go bad in the fridge and having to throw them out.The listing says "quart size jar," but at 14 ounces it's actually closer to a pint-sized jar. Still, since dehydrated vegetables are a fraction of their original, un-dehydrated size, there are a lot of carrots in the jar. If you mainly use carrots just for seasoning or to add a little color to dishes, they'll last quite a while.

Good accent to many dishes. Diced small. No added salt.

These carrots were too chewy until I learned to soak them longer. I can get away with soaking them for an hour while I get ready for work but they are better if I soak some overnight in the refrigerator. They swell up a lot.I put them in the frozen meals I have for lunch at work - I cook the frozen meal in the morning so I don't have to wait as long at the microwave at work, and after I cook it and let it cool a little I tip and tap the container to get the food to slide down toward one end, leaving a quarter or third of the package empty to put these carrots in. Then at lunch time I reheat the meal and stir the carrots in. Doesn't affect the taste much and provides a lot more chewing time and I stay full longer. So I am very happy with these carrots. I know I could buy fresh and fix them but I don't have time and fresh carrots would rot and get wasted. These dried carrots are more practical for me.
