French Heirloom Oxheart Carrot for Heavy Soils

Compact ground no longer limits your harvest with this stout, heart-shaped French heirloom. Unlike traditional varieties that fork or stall in tough terrain, these short, plump roots push downward rather than outward, allowing you to cultivate healthy crops regardless of your native soil texture. The wide shoulders expand up to five inches across, creating a sturdy underground architecture that thrives where long, tapered types simply cannot survive.

The harvest provides a sweet, full-bodied flavor that stands up well to rigorous kitchen techniques. Because the internal structure is exceptionally dense, thick cuts retain their form instead of breaking down during extended cooking. These characteristics make them ideal for chunk roasting until caramelized, or gentle simmering in hearty braises where the flesh remains intact.
