Dragon Carrot is a striking open-pollinated variety known for its deep purple skin and vibrant orange interior. This colorful carrot combines crisp texture with a sweet, rich flavor, making it as appealing in the kitchen as it is in the garden.

Excellent for fresh eating, roasting, juicing, and colorful culinary presentations, Dragon retains its bright interior while adding dramatic contrast with its dark exterior. The smooth, tapered roots grow uniformly and offer excellent flavor both raw and cooked.
