Carrots - Scarlet Nantes

This heirloom carrot has been grown and selected for North American conditions for at least 50 years. It is a workhorse variety that is widely adapted and often out-performs some of the more finicky Nantes hybrids.

Strong tops and excellent heirloom flavour in 18cm (7") roots that colour up early for optional harvests as baby carrots. When Scarlet Nantes reach maturity, they are some of the best storage carrots, and they freeze particularly well for winter use. This is also one of the top yielding juicing carrots because its tender flesh is so easily rendered.
