Scarlet Nantes Carrot – The Virtually Coreless Heirloom Standard for Superior Sweetness
Since the 1850s, the Scarlet Nantes has been the gold standard for fresh-eating carrots. This French heirloom is famous for its cylindrical shape and blunt tip, reaching about 6-7 inches in length. At The Seed Guy, we highly recommend Scarlet Nantes to families because it is virtually coreless, meaning every bite is tender, crisp, and incredibly sweet without the woody or fibrous center found in many other varieties. Its fine grain and high moisture content make it the top choice for juicing and raw snacking.
The brilliant scarlet-orange color of this carrot isn't just skin deep—it permeates the entire root, providing a beautiful appearance for fresh salads. It is a fast-maturing variety, making it perfect for kids to grow or for gardeners who want a quick turnaround for their spring harvest. Any vegetable that can go from seed to table while providing both a stunning visual and incredible flavor is a gardener's dream, and the Scarlet Nantes is widely considered the best-tasting carrot for eating raw right out of the garden.
