Colored carrots currently are all the rage, yet have been around for centuries. In fact, the first carrots grown in medieval Asia and Europe and possibly ancient Egypt, were purple! After losing out to orange carrots long ago, purple carrots have been rediscovered. Kids will love them as a colorful snack. High in vitamin A and anthocyanin (an antioxidant).

1/4"

Harvesting: Harvesting can begin as early as 70 days, or at 3/4 maturity. Sweet and already with purple color at that stage. Do not allow carrots to get larger than normal size (see vegetable description). Late summer planted carrots are very sweet if harvested after first couple of light fall frosts, but before heavy frost. In climates where temperatures don’t fall below 20° F, with protection, carrots can be left in ground for storage and harvested as needed.
