Canned Carrots are a sealed tin of sliced carrots that keeps without spoiling. A sealed can is a safe item for a long term food store. It needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open.
Once opened, the can becomes Canned Carrots (Open). The carrots then work as a light snack or as an ingredient for soups, stews, pies and pasta. They are one of the least filling canned foods, so their real value is in cooking. Canned Carrots are a common find in grocery stores, general stores and kitchens.
Eating
A sealed can has to be opened before the carrots can be eaten. The opened can lowers hunger by 12 and thirst by 4. It holds only 10.5 calories, along with 28 grams of carbohydrates. That makes canned carrots a poor food for keeping body weight up.
The carrots are good hot, so heating the open can before eating gives a small mood lift. Compared with other canned vegetables, they are on the light side. Canned Corn (Open) and Canned Peas (Open) both lower hunger by 16, and Canned Potato (Open) by 18.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Storage
A sealed can of carrots keeps without spoiling, so it can wait on a shelf for as long as needed. Once the can is opened, the carrots stay fresh for 2 days and are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The best plan is to open a can only when it will be eaten or cooked right away.
Locations
Canned Carrots are a common find. Grocery stores and grocery storage rooms hold them about a third of the time. The shelves at Gigamart, grocery stores and general stores carry them fairly often. Cafeteria kitchens stock them too. House kitchens and living rooms turn up a can now and then in counters, cupboards and shelves. Survivor caches, survivor crates and hoarder kitchens hold them less often.
