Fresh vegetables | Carrots and Radish
These washed carrots, sourced in France, have a minimum size of 40 mm (size 40+) and are sold by the kilo. The average weight of each carrot is approximately 125 g. The term "washed" indicates that these carrots have been harvested mechanically, immediately washed, brushed and sorted by size. The fact that they are washed saves considerable time in professional kitchens. Size 40+ refers to medium to large carrots, ideal for regular cutting.

Purple carrots are distinguished by their deep colour and sweet, slightly spicy flavour. They can be prepared in many ways: roasted in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, sautéed in a pan with fresh herbs, added to purées or soups to add colour and flavour, or served raw in sticks for colourful salads and dips. These purple carrots, selected by Le Delas, are available by the kilo in our Fruit and Vegetable Workshop in Rungis and for delivery.
Parsnips are an ancient root vegetable with a slightly sweet taste and nutty notes, which are making a comeback in both gourmet and traditional cuisine. Versatile, they can be cooked into a creamy purée, a fragrant soup, roasted in the oven with herbs, crispy crisps or even an elegant garnish to accompany meat and fish. Its refined taste also makes it suitable for use in sweet dishes such as cakes and original bakes. This parsnip, selected by Le Delas, is available to order by the kilo from our Fruit and Vegetable Workshop in Rungis and for delivery.
