Carrot Tendersnax Hybrid
Great holding power!
These 5- to 6-inch-long orange carrots are straight, barely tapering to a blunt tip. Tendersnax is a Nantes-Imperator type, bred in Germany and exceptionally disease-resistant. But there's really only one reason to grow it -- that amazing flavor!
Tendersnax is equally suited to raw or cooked eating, and makes a fine juicing carrot. Our preferred method is raw, straight from the ground and warmed by the sun! But if you don't have the opportunity to gobble this carrot down as quickly as you'd like, don't worry -- it won't lose a bit of its flavor or texture if it has to wait a bit after harvest.
We're convinced that Tendersnax is about to become your carrot of choice. It's a great first variety for a child to grow, and the shorter size of its roots make it ideal for heavy or clay soils in which long, slender carrots tend to become misshapen. It even works for deep containers! Grow just one packet this season, and we know you'll be carving out more garden space for the carrots next season! Pkt is 1000 seeds (1/32 oz.), which sows 20 feet of row.
