Red Core Chantenay carrots are known for their vibrant coloration and sweet, crisp texture. They feature a deep orange color with a red core, which adds to their visual appeal. These carrots are stump-rooted, meaning they grow broader at the shoulder and taper to a blunt tip, making them ideal for heavy or shallow soils where longer carrots might struggle. Their flavor is naturally sweet, making them a favorite for eating raw or cooking.


Originating in the Chantenay region of France, these carrots were developed in the 18th century. They were initially valued for their resilience in various soil types and their rich flavor. Over time, they became popular in home gardens and commercial farming due to their ability to thrive in less than ideal conditions. The Red Core Chantenay variety was specifically cultivated for its deeper color and flavor, distinguishing it from other Chantenays.
