Charovnitza Chocolate carrots are an early-maturing root crop with a maturation period of 70-90 days from germination to technical maturity. The roots are cylindrical, smooth, straight, and even, measuring 15-20 cm in length, covered with a thin dark purple skin. The flesh is juicy, crunchy, and sweet, featuring an orange color with a bright yellow, thin, and practically non-existent core. Due to the unusual color combination and attractive appearance, this variety is often used for garnishing dishes, looking especially impressive when sliced into rounds.
Charovnitza Chocolate possesses high nutritional value and beneficial properties. Consuming this carrot helps strengthen the immune system, normalize cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of oncological diseases, and improve vision. These effects are achieved thanks to the content of anthocyanins, the carotenoid lutein, as well as various microelements and vitamins. For maximum benefit, it is recommended to consume carrots fresh or use them for preparing freshly squeezed juice.
The variety is versatile in cooking: roots can be pickled, boiled, fried, stewed, and baked. However, during thermal processing, the saturated purple color of the skin becomes less vibrant. Charovnitza Chocolate is suitable for use fresh, canning, and freezing, making it convenient for various storage and preparation methods.
