Product Description

The Touchon Carrot is a classic French heirloom variety known for its sweetness, crisp texture, and cylindrical roots with a blunt tip. The roots reach about 6-8 inches in length, with smooth, bright orange skin and tender flesh, making it ideal for fresh eating, cooking, and juicing. This variety matures quickly and produces uniform carrots with a rich flavor and high sugar content, making it a favorite among gardeners. The Touchon Carrot adapts well to cooler growing conditions, making it perfect for spring and fall planting, and thrives in loose soils for straight, well-formed roots.
