100+ Rainbow Carrot Seeds (Can't promise how many of various colors in lot)
These rainbow-hued carrots grow around the world in countries in Central Asia and in the Mediterranean, but are still a novelty in the United States.
The nutrients: Carrots are jammed with a wealth of nutrients, and medium-sized sticks are only 25 calories. Standard orange carrots contain vitamin A, and the other hued carrots are equally healthy. Here’s a brief break-down:
Orange: Beta and alpha carotene pigment. This promotes vitamin A production by the body, which is essential for healthy eyes.
Purple: Anthocyanin, beta and alpha carotene pigment. Purple carrots typically have an orange core, and their pigment-related nutrients may provide additional vitamin A and prevent heart disease.
Red: Lycopene and beta-carotene pigment. Lycopene is the same red pigment that gives tomatoes their deep color and is linked to a lower risk of certain cancers, such as prostate cancer.
Yellow: Xanthophykks and lutein. Both are linked to cancer prevention and better eye health.
White: The nutrients don’t come from the pigment but from the fiber, which promotes healthy digestion.
Another plus — kids tend to be a bit more adventurous than their parents and willing to give purple, red, etc carrots a try. And anything that helps children to enjoy vegetables more shouldn’t be ignored.
Originally I got these from the GrandChampUSASeed.com & I have had good luck with germination and actual harvest, but I now have carrots for our household, my friends and family, and I'm done with growing them this year.
If you have not grown carrots before, please go to this site or look up on Pinterest for tips on getting the most out of growing carrots.
I have another listing for 200+ seeds.
