Scarlet Nantes Carrots

Scarlet Nantes Carrots are a classic heirloom variety celebrated for their sweet flavor, crisp texture, and nearly coreless roots. These bright orange, cylindrical carrots grow about 6–7 inches long with smooth skin and blunt tips, making them ideal for fresh eating, juicing, and cooking. Known for their fine-grained flesh and high moisture content, Scarlet Nantes carrots are perfect for snacking and store exceptionally well. They mature in approximately 65–75 days and thrive in loose, well-drained soil with full sun. This dependable French heirloom, introduced in the 1870s, remains a favorite among gardeners for its uniform shape, excellent taste, and adaptability—even performing well in heavier soils.
