description

The organic 'Touchon' carrot is a variety appreciated for its short, cylindrical, well-colored roots, which combine tenderness, crunchiness, and sweetness. In the vegetable garden, it stands out for its simple cultivation and its ability to provide a regular harvest of tasty roots, perfectly suited for daily consumption. Its beautiful bright orange flesh brightens up both the garden beds and the plate, whether in salads, as a snack, or in cooked dishes. This variety is particularly suitable for gardeners looking for a reliable, productive, and pleasant carrot to grow, even during warmer periods. Its compact foliage brings a neat and light presence to the garden, while its rapid growth allows for satisfactory results in a short time. In loose, fresh, and well-drained soil, it develops regular roots that retain all their taste quality. Maintaining balanced humidity promotes a fine texture and limits growth defects, making the harvest even more rewarding. 'Touchon' organic is thus an excellent ally for the food garden, combining ease, yield, and the pleasure of harvesting fresh, sweet, and crunchy vegetables.
