Grower
Jumbo Yellow carrots are available year round.
Carrots are a cool climate crop that belong to the Umbelliferae family along with parsnips, fennel caraway, cumin and dill which all have the umbrella-like flower clusters that characterize this family of plants. Many commercial varieties of carrots are actually not breed for flavor rather for their ability to withstand shipping conditions, disease and machine-level harvesting methods.
Jumbo Yellow carrots are varieties that are grown specifically to yield sweeter flavor at maturity while also retaining healthy texture; ie: the taproot is not woody or fiberous. These carrots are similar to the Nantes varieties, having both round shoulders and a blunt non-tapered tip. They have a firm and crunchy texture with an earthy sweet flavor.
Yellow carrots accumulate xanthophylls, pigments similar to beta-carotene that support good eye health as they are absorbed as Vitamin A in the body.
Jumbo carrots boost the nutritional value of soups, stews, salads and are indispensable in the stockpot.
Carrots ancestors are known to have origins in modern-day Afghanistan, which remains the center of diversity of the wild carrot. The Yellow carrot is an Eastern cultivar, domesticated in Central Asia as early as the 9th century.
