FB-Nantes is a Nantes type carrot producing deep orange, cylindrical roots with blunt ends. Roots are non hairy and uniform in shape at an average 7-8 inches, with less core, a crisp texture and sweet flavour - a combination that holds up well to distant transportation and gives clean, saleable bunches.
