Tendersweet carrots are known for their deep orange color and smooth skin. They are nearly coreless, offering a sweet, crisp taste with minimal fiber. These carrots are perfect for both snacking and cooking due to their sweetness and texture. They require about 60-70 days to mature, making them a relatively quick-growing variety.


Carrots, including varieties like tendersweet, trace their origins back to Afghanistan and were originally cultivated for their leaves and seeds rather than roots. The evolution of carrots saw them spread across Europe and Asia, with early varieties being purple and white. The orange carrot, which tendersweet belongs to, became popular in Europe, possibly due to its visual appeal in dishes. The tendersweet variety itself is celebrated for its ease of growth and historical significance, representing one of the older carrot types favored for its flavor.
