Cosmic Purple Carrot Seeds

Cosmic Purple Carrot Seeds

Non-GMO | Open-Pollinated | Purple Skin, Bright Orange Core

The Culinary Edge

Cosmic Purple is the carrot for growers who want the drama of a purple harvest without losing classic carrot sweetness. The roots develop a deep purple exterior with a vivid orange to yellow-orange interior, giving you beautiful colour contrast in salads, slaws, pickles, roasted carrots, market bunches, and vegetable-forward plates.

This variety brings that satisfying garden-carrot snap: sweet, earthy, and crisp when fresh, with enough visual punch to make a simple bunch of carrots feel special. Slice it raw to show the orange core and purple ring, or roast whole for a darker, sweeter side dish.

At A Glance:

Flavor Profile

• Classic Carrot Sweetness: Crisp and sweet enough for raw eating, with the earthy depth you expect from a good garden carrot.

• Colour That Works in the Kitchen: Purple skin gives salads and market bunches instant visual interest, while the orange core keeps the carrot familiar and appetizing.

Culinary Versatility

• Fresh Salads & Slaws: Slice thinly or shave into ribbons to show the purple ring and orange centre.

• Roasting & Glazing: Roast whole or halved with honey, maple, citrus, herbs, or browned butter.

• Pickles & Ferments: Adds colour and crunch to quick pickles, mixed vegetable jars, and fermented carrot sticks.

• Market Bunches: A beautiful choice for growers who want a carrot that catches the eye before it even reaches the cutting board.

Growing Notes

• Direct Sow: Sow outdoors as soon as soil can be worked, then succession sow for steady harvests.

• Soil: Carrots want loose, stone-free soil. Work the bed deeply and avoid fresh manure for straighter roots.

• Moisture: Keep the seedbed evenly moist until germination; carrot seed can be slow if the surface dries out.

• Thinning: Thin seedlings to give roots room to size up cleanly.

• Harvest: Pull around 70 days, or harvest slightly young for tender baby carrots.

Casa Verde Grower Note: Cosmic Purple is a smart choice when you want a carrot that sells the garden at first glance: colourful, useful, and still grounded in real kitchen flavour.
