"Cosmic Purple" Carrots (Daucus Carota var. Sativus): A Unique and Visually Striking Variety
Botanical Characteristics: "Cosmic Purple" carrots are a unique and visually striking variety, known for their deep purple exterior and vibrant orange interior. These carrots offer a sweet and spicy flavor profile and have a slightly tapered, slender shape. Typically growing to about 6-8 inches in length, "Cosmic Purple" carrots are as delightful to the eyes as they are to the palate.
Nutritional Benefits: Apart from their appealing appearance, "Cosmic Purple" carrots are nutritionally rich. They contain high levels of beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A, and are also a good source of vitamins C and K. The purple pigment in the skin is due to anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that are known for their health-promoting properties.
Growing Conditions: These carrots thrive in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and prefer full sun. "Cosmic Purple" carrots are adaptable to various climates but grow best in cooler temperatures. They are suitable for cultivation in garden beds and larger container setups.
Sowing and Care: Plant the seeds directly into the ground, about 1/4 inch deep, spacing them about 2-3 inches apart. Thin the seedlings to about 4-6 inches apart for optimal growth. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth. These carrots benefit from soil that is free of stones and clumps for proper root development.
Harvesting: "Cosmic Purple" carrots typically take about 70-80 days to mature. Harvest when they reach your desired size. Their unique color makes them a great choice for adding a splash of color to dishes both raw and cooked.
