The everyday Indian winter carrot - slender, crisp, mildly sweet, and endlessly versatile for both raw and cooked dishes.
This thin and long red carrot is the most familiar carrot in Indian kitchens. Grown during winter, it develops natural sweetness without becoming overpowering, making it ideal for daily consumption.
Its slender shape allows for even slicing, quick cooking, and consistent texture. When eaten raw, it offers a clean crunch; when cooked, it softens uniformly without turning mushy. This balance makes it perfect for salads, light sabzis, pulao, and mixed vegetable dishes.
For households looking for a dependable, everyday organic carrot, this variety fits seamlessly into daily meals.
