Kyoto Red Carrot

70-90 Days. This is a Japanese kintoki "sweet red" type grown near Kyoto, Japan. They are traditionally eaten on the Japanese New Year and often carved into the shape of a plum blossom to represent fertility in the coming year. These carrots have an exceptional texture and sweet flavor. A perfect variety for late summer, fall, or winter gardening. The bright red color becomes much darker when grown in the winter. Long, tapered roots can grow 10-18" long.
