In the 1950s, deep in the Swiss village of Brè, local women were still growing and selling this striking purple carrot at market, preserving a tradition few outsiders knew remained. “Gniff,” meaning “purple” in the local dialect, reveals its beauty the moment it’s pulled—deep amethyst skin fading into violet flesh within. Its flavor is sweet, balanced, and perfect for crafting lavender-colored juices, desserts, and traditional pickles. Varieties like this were once described by Vilmorin as early as 1856, hinting at a much older lineage. Today, it stands as a living heirloom—part mountain legend, part culinary treasure—bringing a groovy splash of history and color back to the modern garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511149232414,"sku":"CR133","price":4.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/carrot_gniff_1.jpg?v=1782396939","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/carrot-gniff","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
