In fact, the purple carrot has been around for at least 1,000 years. After losing out to the more popular orange carrots long ago, purple carrots have been rediscovered. Kids will love them as a colorful snack. Besides being high in vitamin A, purple carrots contain anthocyanin (an antioxidant).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__primary-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left-side-blocks for-desktop\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-blocks\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description product__block product__block--medium\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte non-page-rte rte--product ff-body fs-body-100\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVariety Info\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"variety\" data-tab-content=\"\" class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays to Maturity: 70 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eApiaceae\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAfrica, Eurasia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Frost Tolerant\n\u003cdiv class=\"lg:col-span-5 lg:col-start-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-block-AY2dDMVVRK0hVOVJ1Z__product-plant-types\" class=\"shopify-block\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Dimensions: Roots are 6\"–7\" long at their peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariety Info: Conical roots with long tapered ends, purple skin with orange interior.

Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks, longer in the fall. Late summer-sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost; however, harvest before soil freezes, which may destroy the crop. In USDA zone 5 or warmer, carrots can be left in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched; harvest as needed on days the ground is not frozen.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"learn\" data-tab-content=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"growing\" data-tab-content=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"sowing\" data-tab-content=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46562297086118,"sku":"0206","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0474\/3325\/3030\/files\/Product_62_f699e5d7-33fe-43aa-9602-8202d5769a3f.png?v=1793656572","url":"https:\/\/www.pittsborofeed.com\/products\/carrot-cosmic-purple","provider":"Pittsboro Feed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
