Zomerwortelen 'Muscade'

Een overheerlijke Noord-Afrikaanse variëteit, die zowel kou als (zeer) warm kan verdragen! Een smaaktopper rond de Middellandse Zee. Vreemd genoeg is dit succesvolle ras vrij zeldzaam geworden in Noord-Europa, daar gaan we iets aan doen! De dieporanje wortels worden 10 cm lang, groeien in lichte of zware grond. De smaak is buitengewoon goed: zoet, sappig en stevig van textuur.
Op de site van Dave’s Garden lazen we:
This is one of the most delicious carrots I have ever eaten. I love carrots and have grown dozens of varieties, and let me tell you, this one ranks near the top. Fast growing, as I am picking these after 60 days of growth. The carrot is very crisp and very sweet. The flavor is unique and hard to describe. As you bite into these carrots, it leaves the impression that you just smelled a freshly zested lemon. That is the best way i can describe it. If you like carrots, do yourself a favor and try these, i don't think you will be disappointed. From other comments on the net, a reoccurring comment is, be sure to pick these at the proper time or they will become woody.
