Planet Carrots

Planet Carrots are called round, but aren’t really. They are short, with very broad tops, tapering sharply after that to almost nothing.

They mature early.

One variety of Planet Carrots is called “Thumbelina.”

Cooking Tips

Planet Carrots don’t need peeling; just scrub them, and top and tail. They are good for steaming, stir-frying, poaching and eating raw.

History Notes

Planet Carrots were developed as a variety that could grow in dense soil, in that they wouldn’t need to struggle growing down into the heavy soil.
