Carrot 'Black Nebula' - Seeds | Vegetable Seeds | Thompson & Morgan

There’s a dark side to everything – including the humble carrot! The darkest carrot to be found, ‘Black Nebula’ produces long, tapering roots about 15-25cm, that come in a striking black-purple shade, the colour penetrating the core and retained on cooking. The crunchy flesh has a good earthy flavour and its extraordinary colour demonstrates that this variety has a high concentration of health-promoting anthocyanins. They make a colourful addition to the plate, whether steamed or raw in salads.

Alternatively, why not juice them to make a highly nutritious, dark purple smoothie? Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 15cm (6in). Useful links:How to grow carrots Companion Planting Reasons to buy your seeds from Thompson & Morgan
