Atomic Red carrots are a striking heirloom variety known for their brilliant red, nutrient-packed roots. Unlike orange carrots colored primarily by beta-carotene, Atomic Red carrot s owe their vibrant hue to lycopene—the same antioxidant pigment found in tomatoes and red watermelon. These carrots trace their lineage to traditional red carrot types long grown in India and Central Asia, where red carrots have been cultivated for centuries. Long, smooth roots typically reach 8–10 inches and develop a deep, glowing red color that becomes even more pronounced when cooked. The flavor is crisp, sweet, and mild, making these carrots equally suited for fresh eating, roasting, or slicing into salads. Vigorous plants grow well in a wide range of soils and produce dependable harvests for gardeners looking to add both color and nutrition to the table. Each packet contains a minimum of 500 seeds.
