The Lunar White carrot is a rare white carrot with high yields. This is a very productive carrot with creamy white roots. The Lunar White has a mild, but delicious flavor with small core. White carrots were grown in the middle ages and have become very rare. The tender roots grow to 6-8”. white carrots are making a comeback. When Henry VIII sat down for lunch, the carrots on the table were white. White carrots remained popular through the 19th century but faded from view in the 20th. This improved variety is sweet and crunchy.
