Plantation:

Growing Tips:
Nantes carrots prefer rich, loose, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture to prevent roots from becoming tough or fibrous. Lightly mound the soil around the plants to prevent greening at the root collar. Combine with companion plants such as leeks or lettuce to promote healthy growth and deter pests.
Harvest and use:
Harvest carrots when the roots are between 18 and 20 cm long and have a beautiful orange colour. Store them in a cool, dry place to prolong their freshness. Perfect for eating raw, in salads or juice, organic Nantes carrots are also ideal for cooked dishes, bringing sweetness and flavour to your recipes.
