Description

Carrot Nantes Half Long (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a renowned 19th-century French heirloom celebrated worldwide for its exceptional sweetness, fine grain, and tender, crisp texture. Producing uniform, cylindrical 6- to 7-inch roots with blunt, rounded tips, it features smooth, bright reddish-orange skin and virtually no core. Unmatched for raw snacking, juicing, cooking, and freezing, this classic variety performs reliably even in heavy or shallow soils where longer tapering carrots struggle.

Good to know

Exceptionally sweet, tender, and nearly coreless flesh makes it a premier variety for fresh eating and juicing
Blunt, cylindrical shape adapts better to heavier or somewhat compact garden soils than long-tapered Imperator types
Stores exceptionally well in cold storage or left in ground under heavy mulch for late autumn and early winter digging

Seeds are tiny and slow to germinate (requiring 14–21 days of continuous soil moisture to emerge evenly)
Requires careful hand-thinning to 2–3 inches apart early in development to ensure roots grow full and straight
