Scarlet Nantes Organic Carrot Seeds

Nantes carrots (Daucus carota subsp. Sativus) are smooth, cylindrical, and sweet heirloom carrots. They are tender, coreless, edible roots with crisp texture, growing leafy green tops, and belong to the Apiaceae family. Originally developed in France in the 1800s, Nantes carrots are prized for their balanced flavor, vibrant orange color, and versatility in culinary use. Scarlet Nantes is a classic, heirloom, dual purpose carrot. It is crisp, moist, sweet and tender. Roots are orange, mostly cylindrical with a blunted tip, and grow to about 6" long. We love nantes-type carrots because they can be grown for early spring eating as well as winter storage. Scarlet Nantes is a "market standard" variety, popular among farmers and old-school gardeners in Europe and the U.S. for its sweet flavor, reliable growth, and satisfying crunchy texture. 72 days to maturity.
