Black Nebula Carrot seeds
Black Nebula carrots are one of the darkest carrot varieties available today. The exterior is a deep purple, almost black to the eye.

The roots are narrow and straight and they taper towards the end. They are incredibly sweet and can be enjoyed fresh, steamed, juiced, or used to create natural dyes. The flavor has been described as sweet and earthy.
