About Paris Market
Paris Market is a small round carrot, often called a Parisian type, bred for shallow or heavy soils where long roots are difficult. The roots are sweet, crisp, and about radish-sized when mature.
Growing Paris Market Carrot
This is one of the best choices for containers or compact raised beds with limited depth. Harvest promptly once roots are fully colored and rounded, because the best texture comes at smaller size.
