Short, thick roots with intense flavour. Excellent halved and charred on the BBQ. Good in heavy soil.
Flavour
Chantenay carrots offer an intense, sweet, and earthy flavour with a satisfying firmness. Their concentrated taste holds up well to robust cooking methods.
In the kitchen
Ideal for halving and charring directly on the BBQ, Chantenay carrots develop a caramelised exterior while retaining a tender bite. They also work well roasted over fire or in foil parcels.
Growing
This variety thrives in heavier soils where its short, stout roots can develop without splitting. Sow from early spring through mid-summer for a steady harvest, ensuring consistent moisture for best results.
