A breathtaking sight in the garden and on the plate, this Indian carrot boasts a color so deep and rich that it's practically midnight black! And that's not all – it also happens to be the world's richest plant-based source of anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant. This variety thrives in hot weather, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in the South. But don't let its toughness fool you, the flavor is delicate and sweet, with a richness that surpasses even the most flavorful orange carrots. As the roots mature, the color deepens, almost like a beet, making for an impressive and visually striking addition to any dish. This carrot is best planted in the summer months, between June and September in North America, and harvested in the fall or winter for maximum flavor.
