I have an slightly odd one that I do myself: Carrots in a water filled container (in the fridge). That way they last really long and you don't get that limpy half-dried version after a while that is hard to remove the peel off. They basically stay as if fresh from the store or garden.
I don't know why but I feel like anything in water would spoil faster....but I have no evidence or even a theory as to why this might be. Perhaps you, keeper of the water carrots, could enlighten me as to why they keep longer?
I think the water itself just keeps them from drying out and the fridge is what keeps them from spoiling (water or not). But usually the carrots become too dried out long before they spoil in a fridge. But maybe the typical mold that would grow on carrots also doesn't like being submerged.
They are roots. Roots are like spongy straws. When a sponge dries out.....
