Carrot, Mixed Color from France

Grown in France, these beautiful mixed-colour carrots are a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Carefully selected in shades of vibrant orange, sunny yellow, delicate white and deep purple, they bring an elegant touch of colour to every plate. French carrots are grown in regions such as Brittany, Normandy and Aquitaine, where favourable soils and climates help develop their naturally sweet, fresh and delicate flavour. Each variety has its own personality: orange carrots are juicy and pleasantly sweet, yellow carrots are mild and tender, white carrots are subtle and refined, while purple carrots offer a more pronounced, earthy taste. Together, they create a deliciously colourful assortment with a crisp texture when raw and a wonderfully tender texture when cooked.

For a truly delicious dish, try roasting them in the oven with olive oil, fleur de sel, freshly ground black pepper and a few sprigs of thyme. Cook the carrots whole at 200°C for around 20–25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelised. Finish with a drizzle of honey and a touch of lemon juice to enhance their natural sweetness, then serve them with whipped goat’s cheese or creamy natural yoghurt. This vibrant French-inspired recipe makes a spectacular side dish for roast chicken, grilled fish or roasted meats, transforming a simple vegetable into a colourful and sophisticated addition to the table.
