Organic Carrot Red - by Rootz oraganics

Description

Organic red carrots, also known as Daucus carota, are a naturally vibrant variety of carrot, with a red or deep reddish-purple hue. These carrots are distinct from the common orange variety due to their high concentration of lycopene, the same antioxidant found in tomatoes and watermelon, which gives them their unique color. They are grown organically, without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, making them a healthier and environmentally friendly choice. Red carrots are crunchy, sweet, and slightly earthy in taste, often used in salads, juices, and various culinary dishes. Nutritional Profile
