{"title":"Carrots","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"danvers-carrots","title":"Danvers Carrots Seeds","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eDanvers carrots are a classic heirloom variety (often called Danvers Half Long or Danvers 126) producing straight, conical roots typically 6-8 inches long and 1.5-2 inches wide at the shoulder, tapering to a blunt point, with smooth skin and deep, rich orange color throughout. The roots have a crisp, crunchy texture when young, with a sweet, earthy flavor that's mildly nutty and full-bodied—best when harvested at moderate size, as older roots can develop a fibrous core making them better suited for cooking than raw snacking. These carrots are versatile in the kitchen: grate for salads or slaws, roast or glaze for caramelized sweetness, steam or boil as a simple side, add to soups, stews, or pot roasts, or use raw in crudités and dips for their satisfying snap. This variety is an excellent choice for Utah because it's widely adapted and heat-tolerant, performs reliably in our variable soils (including heavier or rocky ones common in many areas), and matures in a timeframe that fits our shorter growing season with direct sowing in spring or fall for consistent, flavorful results in full sun and well-drained conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e75 seeds per packet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Seed Packet","offer_id":44848932880493,"sku":"dan-car-seed","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/Danvers.jpg?v=1773698838"},{"product_id":"little-finger-carrots","title":"Little Finger Carrots Seeds","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eLittle Finger carrots are a petite heirloom variety (often called Little Finger or Parisian) that produce small, cylindrical to slightly tapered roots typically 3-4 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter, with smooth, bright orange skin and uniform, crisp orange flesh throughout. The roots are tender and sweet with a mild, nutty flavor that's excellent when harvested young—developing a delicate crunch and natural sweetness without the fibrous core common in larger carrots. These carrots are perfect eaten raw as finger snacks or in crudités, grated fresh into salads and slaws, roasted whole for caramelized sweetness, steamed or boiled as a tender side, or used in quick-pickling for tangy bites—their small size makes them ideal for containers or shallow soils. This variety is an excellent choice for Utah because it's very fast-maturing and cold-tolerant, allowing early spring or fall planting in our variable cool seasons, it performs reliably in heavier or rocky soils common here with good drainage, and it's recommended by USU Extension as a productive baby carrot type that suits shorter growing windows and home gardens well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e75 seeds per packet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Seed Packet","offer_id":44848933961837,"sku":"litfi-car-seed","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/LittleFinger.jpg?v=1773699026"},{"product_id":"scarlet-nantes-carrots","title":"Scarlet Nantes Carrots Seeds","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eScarlet Nantes carrots are a classic heirloom variety producing straight, cylindrical roots typically 6-7 inches long and 1-1.5 inches in diameter, with smooth, bright scarlet-orange skin and uniform, crisp orange flesh throughout—no core or green shoulders when grown properly.
