From the back of the Mountain Valley Seeds Carrots - Scarlet Nantes package:
"Bugs Bunny would love this carrot, and so should you. Here's a long, fine-grained carrot that is nearly coreless. A rich orange color, it is delicious raw, cooked or frozen. Like other carrots, it is rich in food value and stores well. Good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin A."

Harvesting Tips:
You can harvest carrots when they are very small (baby carrots). But you can still eat them when older and they are still good. They store in the ground for 3-4 months in cool summer weather and 6-7 monhts in the winter if planted to mature in the fall.
