Red Cored Chantenay Carrot – The Sweet and Stout Heirloom Perfect for Canning and Heavy Soil
The Red Cored Chantenay is a beautiful, blocky carrot that is as functional as it is delicious. Known for its broad shoulders and tapered tip, it reaches about 5 inches in length, making it another excellent choice for gardeners with shallow or heavy soil where longer varieties might fail. At The Seed Guy, we love this variety for its deep orange-red core and remarkably high sugar content. It was originally introduced in France in the late 1800s and has remained a favorite because of its tender texture and gourmet quality.
Because it is shorter and broader than most carrots, the Red Cored Chantenay is the premier choice for canning, freezing, and juicing. Its uniform color throughout the root makes for a stunning presentation in any dish. Any vegetable that can go from seed to table while providing both a stunning visual and incredible flavor is a gardener's dream, and this Chantenay is a sweet, reliable producer that stays tender even when it reaches full maturity. It is also an ideal candidate for container gardening or raised beds.
