Carrot: Red Cored Chantenay

The sweetest carrot we offer!

A reliable producer, even in heavy or shallow soils. Expect big yields that resist splitting and forking. An excellent variety for juicing, canning, freezing, and cooking in soups and hearty stews. Perfect storage carrot, growing sweeter with time. This variety makes a delicate, sweet juice with floral notes.

Chantenay-type carrots were developed and initially introduced in France in the 1830s. The Red Cored resulted from continued selection by C. C. Morse & Company for "red" (dark-orange) colored roots and was introduced to the US in 1930.
