| White color is very nice especially amongst the orange and purple and looks nice in salads and soups, but had no flavor, very bland. |

| A \"fun\" variety to grow amongst other colors. The seeds were a spectacular silver color which was our first amazement at this plant. The carrots themselves were large and straight. The flavor was not all there but it would be a nice addition to soup etc. Many people thought they were parsnips at the tasting events we held. |

| Visitors liked seeing this carrot, especially when placed alongside the Purple Haze and Bolero that were grown. It is not very sweet, but offers a nice contrast when put into a salad or stew. |

| Huge harvest from my short rows. Some of the biggest carrots I have ever grown. Did very well for a drought year and limited watering.Have not tasted yet but will review flavor later. |

| Grew nicely, producing a very firm long vegetable. Flavor left me wanting. I personally like a stronger tasting carrot. |

| Very good novelty carrot. Is a pale cream color. Very good texture. Really like the taste, but be aware it is a little different than a regular carrot. More mild flavored than other carrots which makes for both a nice color and a nice flavor contrast when mixed with other carrots. |
