About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A short, blunt carrot of the Chantenay type with a strong shoulder that does well even on heavy, stony and shallow soils. Because it does not root deeply, it is a rewarding choice for clay gardens and raised beds. The flesh is strikingly sweet and juicy, and children love it raw as a snacking carrot. It is open pollinated and delivers sturdy roots reliably even where the soil is far from ideal.
Decidedly sweet and juicy, one of the best varieties for eating raw.
