The rich orange flesh is fine-textured, crisp and sweet, making this a reliable all-purpose variety for both fresh eating and cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts shorter, broad-rooted form makes Royal Chantenay particularly well suited to heavier, clay-based or shallower soils where long, slender carrots can struggle to develop properly. The substantial roots are excellent roasted, steamed, glazed, juiced or added to soups and stews, while younger roots are sweet and crisp enough for fresh eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal Chantenay is also an excellent storage Carrot. Mature roots hold particularly well through winter when harvested and stored under cool conditions, making it a useful variety for gardeners wanting to preserve a larger seasonal crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 400 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Most of the year, with best results autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring to autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to early autumn, avoiding periods of heavy frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly where plants are to grow, approximately 5–10 mm deep.
