Deep purple on the outside and bright orange inside, this 2006 AAS Winner has a lovely, sweet taste, especially when raw. Lightly stir-fry to retain a deeper purple colour. The roots are 25-30cm (10-12") long and slender with a graceful taper.
Imperator type. This is our top pick for a purple carrot—enjoy the great flavour and stunning cross-section. We recommend planting Purple Haze for a fall harvest, so it does not bolt. Children love the idea of purple carrots and appreciate the sweet flavour of Purple Haze.
