A Box of Canned Carrots is a shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Carrots. It is a bulk way to carry and store a vegetable that keeps far longer than fresh carrots. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of canned carrots are a rare find in grocery stores, cafeteria kitchens and survivor caches.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open. An opened can of carrots lowers hunger by 12 and thirst by 4.
The carrots are good hot, so a warmed can gives a small mood lift. Canned carrots hold very few calories, so they do little for body weight. Their main use is as a cooking ingredient. An opened can adds 12 hunger to a Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice or Pasta dish, and 6 to an Omelette, a Sandwich or a Salad.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of canned carrots suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the carrots stay fresh for 2 days and are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be used.
Locations
A Box of Canned Carrots is a rare find. Grocery stores and grocery storage rooms hold one now and then. Cafeteria kitchen shelves, general stores and the shelves at Gigamart turn one up a little less often. Survivor food caches, survivor crates and house kitchens hold one only once in a long while.
