Long, large carrot with rounded shoulder. Has smooth skin, and is deep orange, evenly colored throughout with a strong, sweet, aromatic flavor both raw and cooked. Excellent storage variety. With good cultivation practices, these carrots can reach up to 1 lb. each, and store well, remaining sweet and flavorful over many months. We’ve found these to be very reliable and of an excellent large size and great flavor.
