{"product_id":"carrot-chantenay-red-core","title":"Carrot Seeds, Chantenay Red Core","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e). From the old market gardens of France comes a carrot bred for beauty, flavor, and real-world growing—short, strong, and full of character. The Chantenay type traces back to the fertile Chantenay region near Nantes, where growers needed a carrot that could thrive in heavier soils and still deliver refined flavor to bustling city markets. This “Red Core” strain, introduced in 1929, represents the peak of that tradition—dense, broad-shouldered roots with a rich red-orange color and a sweetness that carries a subtle floral note, especially when juiced. Unlike the long, slender types, this carrot was built for reliability—easy to pull, resistant to poor soils, and consistent in size and quality. It quickly became a staple in both European and American gardens, valued not just for yield, but for flavor that feels both grounded and elegant. Smooth, rich, and quietly luxurious, this is a carrot that carries the soul of the old French markets into every harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511157326110,"sku":"CR111","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/carrot_chantenay_red_core.jpg?v=1782397342","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/carrot-chantenay-red-core","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
