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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eBerlicum 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.
