Carrots - Royal Chantenay (Seeds)

Royal Chantenay Carrot is a classic heirloom variety known for its large, chunky roots, excellent sweetness, and dependable performance in heavier or shallow soils. The dark orange roots grow approximately 12–15 cm (5–6") long and develop a uniform shape that makes them well suited to both home and market gardens.

The fine-grained flesh is reddish orange inside and out, with a rich, sweet flavour that makes Royal Chantenay especially good for juicing. It is also an excellent choice for freezing, canning, and everyday cooking.

First introduced in 1952, this dependable open-pollinated variety has remained a favourite for gardeners looking for a productive carrot with strong flavour and adaptable growth.
