About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The ‚Gelbe Lange Stumpfe ohne Herz’ is an old yellow‑fleshed land variety that was mainly grown as feed and soup carrot in the past and now returns as a rarity. The long, blunt roots have hardly a woody heart and taste boldly spicy, less sweet than orange varieties, wonderful in stews, broth and roasted vegetables. It stores well and brings a sunny yellow color to winter produce. Seed‑fertile and robust, ideal for preserving old diversity.
Boldly spicy instead of sugary sweet, gives broth and roasted vegetables an earthy‑gold note.
