Carrot varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common carrot varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Nantes	Snacking and juicing: sweet, tender, cylindrical with a blunt tip.
Imperator	All-purpose: the long tapered supermarket bagged carrot.
Danvers	Roasting and storage: conical and sturdy, holds shape when cooked.
Chantenay	Stews and boiling: short and stout, stays firm and sweet when simmered.
Rainbow / Heirloom	Raw salads and plating: purple, yellow, and white for colour.

Which should I pick?

For snacking and everyday cooking, Nantes is the sweetest and most tender, often sold as bunched carrots. No Nantes? Imperator, the standard bagged supermarket carrot, works in any recipe. For roasting and stews where you want carrots that hold their shape, Chantenay or Danvers stay firm.
