Vegetable
Bolero
A tier
Bolero is a widely grown hybrid Nantes-type—uniform cylindrical roots, strong tops for bunching, and sweet flavour with good storage. Disease resistance packages made it a commercial and garden favourite. Core quality stays fine when harvested promptly. Bunch for markets, bag for storage, eat raw or cooked. A workhorse name behind many unlabelled sweet cylindrical carrots. Reliable germination and shape in decent soils. Seasonality and storage change how Bolero tastes; peak lots underline why Hybrid Nantes Type still earns a separate name in serious kitchens.
