This delightful maincrop carrot Atomic Red has large, bright red roots up to 11 inches long. Rich in vitamins and minerals carrot Atomic Red is especially high in the anti-oxidant lycopene, which is also found in tomatoes and highly regarded as a cancer-preventing nutrient . When raw the roots of carrot Atomic Red have a somewhat rough appearance but when peeled and cooked the carrots turn blood red in colour and the flavour and texture are also significantly improved. As with all carrots when planting, pick a sunny spot, dig the ground well (at least one foot deep) and remove any rocks or stones which might get in the way of the growing crop. Matures approx. 75-80 days after sowing.
