Discover the unparalleled sweetness of Tendersweet Carrot, an heirloom variety renowned for its long, tender roots and vibrant orange hue. This Daucus carota subsp. sativus gem boasts a coreless structure, making it an excellent all-around choice for cooking, canning, pickling, baking, and juicing. With roots reaching 9 to 10 inches in length and plant heights of 4 to 8 inches, these carrots develop beautifully in full sun or partial shade. Harvest this non-GMO, open-pollinated treasure in just 70-75 days for a bountiful summer yield. Known for its unmatched sugar content, second only to the sugar beet, Tendersweet Carrot is one of the sweetest root vegetables you can cultivate. This century-old American heirloom has given rise to countless hybrids, yet none can rival its perfect balance of flavor and texture. Ideal for raw consumption or culinary applications, Tendersweet Carrots are a versatile addition to any garden, offering sweet satisfaction with every bite.
