Carrot microgreens are one of the most surprising and rewarding varieties you can grow at home. They carry that sweet, herbaceous carrot-top flavour — mild, aromatic, and genuinely delicious in pesto, salads, soups, and roasted vegetable dishes. Some growers even prefer them over basil in pesto. If you're looking to grow something a little different, these are it.
These seeds come from Seattle Seed Company, a trusted name in Pacific Northwest growing. Whether you're a seasoned microgreens grower or just getting started, carrot microgreens are a deeply satisfying variety to cultivate — and they make a thoughtful, practical gift for the home cook or garden enthusiast in your life.
