The latest gem from the Tessin region of Switzerland? It's a rare landrace that goes by the name "Gniff" in the local dialect, which translates to "purple." And let me tell you, this carrot is no ordinary carrot! Its amethyst-colored exterior is enough to make any veggie-lover swoon, but the magic doesn't stop there. When you slice it open, you'll be greeted with a stunning violet-hued interior that will make you feel like you've stumbled upon a treasure trove.
This slow-growing storage carrot is the pride and joy of the women in the picturesque Alps village of Bre. They've been growing and selling them at farmers markets for years, keeping the tradition alive. And let me tell you, these carrots are not just a pretty face. They're also traditionally pickled by steaming, slicing, and preserving them in olive oil, parsley, and garlic, creating a flavor explosion in your mouth that you'll never forget.
But don't be fooled, this landrace carrot is not for the faint of heart. It expresses a range of colors, from its purple exterior to its pale yellow heart, making it a true work of art. And while it may take a bit longer to grow, it's worth the wait. So why not add a little Swiss magic to your garden and enjoy the beauty and flavor of this magnificent carrot?
