Purple carrot

This unique carrot is deep purple on the outside and white or yellow on the inside. A real stunner and a fun alternative to the 'regular' orange ones.

Purple carrots taste great, but not quite as sweet, juicy, or crunchy as our orange carrots. Still, the funky colors more than make up for it.

Plants per square patch: 16
Height: 30 to 40 cm
Sowing time: mid-March to mid-August
Sowing depth: 0.5 cm
Germination: 10 - 21°C in 10 - 15 days
Time to harvest: after 10 to 14 weeks
Sunlight: ideally full sun (more sun means sweeter taste)

What's so special about our purple carrots?

Yes, there's more 😉 Carrots are rich in Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and C. And they pack a beta-carotene punch, which your body converts into Vitamin A.

Carrots also contain minerals like calcium and potassium (for strong bones) and lots of fiber for healthy digestion.

And don't forget the leaves: even the carrot tops are full of vitamins and minerals like calcium, potassium, and Vitamins C and K.

Purple carrots are also rich in a unique type of antioxidant known as anthocyanin. (It’s a type of flavonoid found in blueberries, blackberries, purple cabbage, purple potatoes, etc.) This particular antioxidant helps combat the aging process, heart disease, and other health issues.

Sowing and growing

16 carrots fit in one square patch in your garden box. To sow, plant a few seeds in each hole. When the seedlings come up, thin them out carefully so the remaining carrots have enough room to grow.

Thinning out means cutting away extra seedlings at ground level. If you uproot them like weeds, you'll disturb the remaining carrots. Same goes for transplanting: just don’t do it 😉

Step-by-step sowing and growing instructions are included in the Planty Gardening app.

How do you use purple carrots?

You can enjoy the carrot roots solo. Eat them raw by the fistful or grated in salads. You can also boil, stew, or roast them.

The leaves are edible and super healthy. They taste similar to parsley: spicy with a hint of carrot flavor. Process raw in a (tabouleh) salad with the carrot root, tomato, onion, chickpeas, and cumin. Or make a pesto. Or toss in a stir fry. The options are endless.
