I heard that eating tomatoes and carrots can make you naturally tan, is this true?

Yes, but you still need to blanch them first. Because their cooking times may vary, you need to blanch them separately. After that, you can freeze them together. Use them...

You take about an inch of the root from the carrot, plant it in a glass of water and allow the water to barely touch the bottom of the root...

This only works in Sims 4. You need a special embarrassed moodlet in order for this to happen.

Wash apricots right before eating. If you wash them before you store them, they may rot, especially if they are still damp.

Keep them in them the refrigerator. If you leave them on the counter top, they could be contaminated. You can control the temperature in your refrigerator, it might get warm...
