Organic Red Cored Chantenay Carrot Seeds - Daucus carota

Organic Non-GMO Open-Pollinated Red Cored Chantenay Carrot  Seeds Developed in the Chantenay region of France in the 18th century, this gem of a carrot remains popular with top chefs to this day.  This amazing root lost "commercial" appeal due to mechanization of the food industry because of its short, wide shouldered stature.  But those who know carrots have brought it back in the ongoing Food Renaissance.  Sweet, crisp with deep "carrot" flavor and no need to peel.  Expect roots about 5"- 6"  long with broad shoulders and a classic carrot shape. Their deep red-orange core is rich in flavor and are one of the best fresh and sliced on the table.  Try them juiced, shredded in salad,  lightly steamed, roasted, in soups or stew, and stir fried.  Chantenay pairs well with almonds, butter, cream, cheddar, Parmesan and pecorino, ginger, cardamon, potatoes, garlic, mushrooms, shallots and balsamic vinegar to name a few potentials.  Truly the possibilities are endless!
