Russian Red Carrot Seeds (Daucus carota subsp. sativus)
Russian Red carrot is a vibrant, heirloom variety known for its deep red-orange roots and exceptional sweetness. Originating from traditional Russian farming practices, this variety has been cultivated for generations, prized for its adaptability to cold climates and rich, earthy flavor. Unlike conventional orange carrots, the Russian Red develops its striking color due to high anthocyanin content, making it both visually appealing and nutritionally superior.
Plant Characteristics
Russian Red carrots produce medium to long, tapered roots that typically reach 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) in length. The deep red-orange flesh is smooth, crisp, and free from woody textures. This variety boasts excellent resistance to cracking and remains tender even when fully matured. The plant develops lush, green foliage, which can also be used as a nutritious addition to soups or salads.
Taste and Nutritional Benefits
Renowned for its exceptionally sweet, slightly earthy flavor, Russian Red is perfect for fresh consumption, juicing, or cooking. The high anthocyanin and beta-carotene content provide significant antioxidant benefits, promoting good vision, skin health, and immune support. Its deep color and nutrient density make it a top choice for health-conscious growers.
Cultivation Recommendations
This variety thrives in well-drained, loose, and sandy soil with good aeration. For best results:
• Sow seeds directly into the soil at a depth of 1 cm (0.5 inches).
• Keep soil consistently moist during germination, which occurs within 10–14 days.
• Thin seedlings to ensure proper root development, allowing at least 5 cm (2 inches) between plants.
• Prefers cool temperatures (16–22°C / 60–72°F) but can withstand moderate heat.
• Ready for harvest in 70–90 days, with roots developing the richest color and flavor in slightly cooler conditions.
Uses and Applications
Russian Red carrots are highly versatile. They can be enjoyed fresh in salads, roasted for enhanced sweetness, or blended into juices and soups. Their high anthocyanin content also makes them a great choice for natural food coloring. Due to their firm texture, they store exceptionally well and retain their quality over time.
