Carrot
Developed from the wildflower Queen Anne's Lace, the carrot has been cultivated for centuries in Europe. Rich in calcium and vitamin A, as well as an excellent source of fiber, carrots are also very easy to grow. They come in many shapes and sizes. Imperator carrots are the long, smooth, slim types found in supermarkets. Nantes carrots are slender in shape with rounded ends (stamp roots). Chantenay carrots are broad at the top with a tapering shape and rounded end. For local fresh market, we recommend the new Nantes and Chantenay type hybrids for exceptional sweetness, flavor and color.
