500028
The sand carrot is a premium root vegetable, particularly prized by chefs for its intensely sweet flavour and crisp texture. Grown in sandy soil, it is distinguished by its smooth skin and lack of earthiness, making it an exceptional product available at the Rungis Fruit and Vegetable Market. This product is ideal for professionals seeking an authentic vegetable that holds up well during cooking.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Culinary applications: Its natural sugar content makes it perfect for glazed dishes, creamy purées or roasting whole in the oven.
► Use in raw vegetable dishes: Grated or sliced into thin strips using a mandoline, it adds superior freshness and crunch to salads and side dishes.
► Visual appeal: Its bright orange colour and uniform shape allow for elegant presentation in fine dining and catering.
► Handling: The product is sold by the kilo, allowing for precise stock management according to your kitchen's production volumes. Although the product sheet indicates an approximate weight of 30g per piece, this is a raw product requiring preparation.
► Storage: To preserve its moisture and crunch, it should be stored at a positive temperature, ideally in a cool, dark place.
