Parisian Carrots are renowned for their delightful attributes. Originating from France and cherished since the 1800s, these heirloom carrots are celebrated for their sweet and mild flavor and excellent texture. They offer a perfect crunch while remaining tender. At 1-2 inches in diameter, these round bite-size carrots are ideal for enjoying whole. They can be consumed fresh in salads or used in various cooked forms such as pickled, steamed, roasted, or baked. The greens of the carrots are also versatile, suitable for sautéing as a side dish, making into pesto, or used as a replacement for parsley or lettuce.

These carrots are particularly accommodating for gardeners who have faced challenges growing carrots in the past. The Parisian Carrot thrives in conditions that are typically unsuitable for other carrot varieties, including poor or rocky soils. Their small size makes them ideal for container gardening and they are quick to harvest, ready in just about 55 days from sowing. Enjoy growing and consuming these exceptional vegetables in your culinary creations. Bon appétit!
