Purple Dragon Carrot
Posted in featured selections on Jul 23rd, 2008
This is our first year growing purple dragon carrots, and while the Belgian White Carrot was a dismal failure, purple dragon looks to be a permanent addition to our seed stock.
Purple carrots originated in Asia Minor and have been grown at least since the 10th century, and probably much longer. Besides their colorful appearance, these carrots are sweet with a rich, spicy finish. Use them raw or cooked to dress up a dish.
Carrots have a high vitamin and antioxidant level, and these are picked within the day of delivery to ensure the highest nutrition. They will keep nicely if stored in a cool dark place, but really, they’re too good to keep around long.
