Lunar White Carrot, Heirloom Seeds

Lunar White Carrot, Heirloom Seeds — The Rare Medieval White Carrot With Mild, Delicious Flavor

Lunar White (Daucus carota) revives a carrot color that was common in the Middle Ages but has since become rare — creamy white roots that are very mild, delicious, and finely flavored, with a small core and nearly coreless flesh. Vigorous and productive, Lunar White grows 6–12 inches long with a crisp texture and a mild, clean taste that is noticeably different from orange varieties — sweeter, more delicate, and genuinely surprising. An excellent choice for gardeners who want something unusual, and a guaranteed conversation starter at the farmers’ market. 60–65 days.
