The sweetest mainstream carrot. Blunt-tipped, uniform shape. Brilliant fire-roasted whole.
Flavour
Nantes carrots are renowned for their exceptional sweetness and crisp texture, with a clean, earthy undertone that’s less bitter than other varieties.
In the kitchen
Ideal for fire-roasting whole, Nantes carrots caramelise beautifully over open flames, developing a rich, smoky sweetness that enhances their natural sugars.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, loose soil to develop straight roots; sow thinly and keep evenly moist to avoid splitting and encourage uniform growth.
