Carrot Rainbow Mix Of Colorful Varieties Seeds

A vibrant blend of carrot varieties offering a rainbow of colours and flavours.

 

This mix typically includes traditional orange roots alongside golden yellow, creamy white, deep red, and striking purple types. Each colour brings its own unique taste and nutritional profile, from sweet and mild to earthy and rich. Together they create a harvest that is as beautiful as it is versatile in the kitchen.

 

Carrot mixes are easy to grow and well suited to a wide range of soils, provided they are light, stone free, and well drained. The roots can be harvested young for baby carrots or left to mature for full sized crops.

 

Their colourful appearance makes them especially appealing for children and for adding interest to salads, roasts, and juices.
