Description

Solar Yellow
60 days — A Danvers type of carrot with roots reaching about six inches in length. Their bright yellow color adds a special look to your salads and entrées — especially when combined with red, purple, white and orange varieties.

According to the USDA^[2], Xanthophylls are the pigments that give the yellow carrots their golden hues and have been linked with good eye health.

Yellow carrots originated in Afghanistan, Turkey, and the Middle East in the 900s. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 650 seeds.
