Carrot ‘Berlicum’ (Daucus carota)
A distinguished European heirloom prized for its perfect balance of size, texture, and sweetness. Falling between a Nantes and a Danvers type, Berlicum is the "connoisseur’s choice" for gardeners who want a substantial, heavy-cropping carrot without sacrificing the refined, coreless quality of smaller varieties.
Berlicum produces long, cylindrical roots with a smooth, deep-orange skin and a blunt, rounded tip. Its remarkably high sugar and juice content makes it a standout for fresh eating and the absolute gold standard for carrot juice. Because of its sturdy structure and excellent storage life, it is a favorite for the "slow-living" pantry, staying crisp and sweet for months after the autumn harvest.
