Crisp, Sweet Nantes Carrots for Fresh Eating and Storage

Carrot Yaya is a top choice among carrot enthusiasts, celebrated for its exceptional flavor, crisp texture, and reliable performance in the garden. As an early Nantes-type carrot, Yaya matures quickly-ready for baby carrots in just 50 days and full-sized roots in 60 days. Its uniform, cylindrical roots and short, sturdy tops make it ideal for bunching, market sales, and home gardeners seeking easy harvesting. Yaya’s vibrant orange color and juicy crunch make it a standout for snacking, salads, and cooking.

Yaya carrots are perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and culinary uses like soups and stews. Their sweet, mild flavor and crisp bite are prized by chefs and home cooks alike. The strong, compact tops hold up well during harvest, making bunching easy and reducing waste. Yaya also stores well, maintaining its flavor and texture in the refrigerator or root cellar, so you can enjoy garden-fresh carrots long after harvest. As an early Nantes variety, Yaya is well-suited for succession planting and can be grown in spring, summer, or fall.

This carrot variety grows to a height of 6–8 inches, with roots spaced 6 inches apart for optimal development. Sow seeds directly in loose, well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed. Thin seedlings to prevent crowding and ensure straight, uniform roots. Harvest baby carrots at 50 days for tender, petite snacks, or wait until 60 days for full-sized, robust carrots. Regular watering and weed control help produce the sweetest, crunchiest roots.

Growing Success Tips:

• Sow seeds directly in loose, stone-free soil for straight, uniform roots.
• Keep soil consistently moist for even germination and root development.
• Thin seedlings to 6 inches apart to prevent crowding and forked roots.
• Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds for optimal growth.

Carrot Yaya offers outstanding value with its sweet flavor, crisp texture, and versatility for fresh eating and storage. Its early maturity, strong tops, and reliable yields make it a must-have for gardeners of all skill levels.
For the best flavor and texture, harvest carrots in the cool morning hours and rinse immediately.
