{"product_id":"chantenay-red-core-carrot-250-seeds","title":"Chantenay Red Core Carrot – 250 Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrow a dependable, sweet, and versatile garden staple with our Chantenay Red Cored Carrot seeds! Renowned among heirloom growers since the late 1800s, this stocky, broad-shouldered classic produces vibrant golden-orange roots measuring 5 to 7 inches long and up to 2 inches wide at the crown. Unlike slender carrot varieties that struggle in dense ground, Chantenay Red Cored is famous for its ability to thrive in heavier or shallower soils without forking. Packed with crisp texture, deep reddish-orange interior color, and rich sweetness that intensifies after a light frost, these carrots are ideal for fresh snacking, roasting, winter root-cellar storage, and home canning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e⭐ What you'll love\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStocky, broad-shouldered 5 to 7 inch roots uniquely suited for heavier or shallower garden soils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCrisp, fine-grained flesh with a deep reddish-orange core and rich, sweet carrot flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCold-hardy performance; flavor becomes even sweeter after experiencing a light autumn frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExceptional versatility for fresh eating, roasting, freezing, canning, and winter storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌿 Seed details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chantenay Red Cored Carrot (\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 500 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heirloom, Open Pollinated, Non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifecycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biennial (Grown as an annual for root harvest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoot Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-7 inches long, 2 inches wide at the shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65-70 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌱 Growing instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow outdoors 3-5 weeks prior to the final spring frost, or sow in late summer for a fall crop.
