I recently started buying ready-to-eat baby carrots to eat as a healthy
snack. You're supposed to keep them in the refrigerator section of your
fridge but I have some kind of a mental block and always "instinctively" put
the darned things in the freezer section instead of the fridge section. I've
done this three times now, most recently last night.

I tried letting the first package frozen carrots thaw out on the counter but
they turned dark and didn't look right. I tried letting the second package
of frozen carrots thaw out in the fridge section but the same thing
happened. My mother told me that if they turned dark they weren't safe to
eat so I threw both of those packages in the garbage.

Now I've done it a third time. Is there anything I can do to "rescue" the
frozen carrots? I was wondering if defrosting them in the microwave might do
the trick: get them back to a temperature where they can be stored in the
fridge section again WITHOUT having turning them black and inedible? I
really hate to throw out yet another package of these carrots.

If there is a technique that will work - microwave-based or not - I'd love
to hear about it. I'm bound to do this again a few times until my brain
comes off autopilot and stop putting the carrots in the freezer section of
the fridge....
