Toxic Black Mold. Toxic black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is a dangerous mold. This fungus grows in dark, moist areas of the home and is particularly common in humid climates. Recently flooded houses are known to harbor unseen black mold growth inside walls and floors, according to RTK Environmental Group.
How to Prepare Carrots. 1  Work with 1 pound of fresh carrots at a time. 2  Wash, trim, and peel or scrub, if necessary. 3  Cut standard-size carrots into 1/4-inch-thick slices or into strips (1 pound makes about 2-1/2 cups slices or strips).
â¢ If you like, you can wash carrots again just before using. After opening, loosely tie bag and store remaining carrots in the refrigerator. â¢ To bake or roast: Baby carrots can be roasted whole or cut into halves lengthwise. Place carrots on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and cook at 400 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned and just soft. â¢ To microwave: Cut carrots into slices or halves and place in a microwave- safe dish.
