Bred by ReinSaat. Under variety testing. Seed for trial cultivation. This strongly and uniformly colored Nantaise carrot yields high crops of long, cylindrical, distinctly blunt carrots. The smooth skin reduces washing effort. Crisp to bite, Melina, with its balanced flavor and notable sweetness, is also suitable as a bunch carrot for fresh marketing. Development time: 90–100 days.
