Carrots- Cosmic Purple
Daucus Carota var. Sativus
This eye catching open pollinated variety has a deep purple skin and an orange interior. These carrots can reach a diameter of 2 inches and a length up to 12 in. long at full maturity. I do my last thinning at 45 days for a delicious baby carrot harvest. The flavor can be described as sweet and spicy. In cooler weather they lean more toward sweet and excessive heat can lean toward spicy.
