Unlike the common orange carrots that originated in Europe, red carrots have their roots in Asia, where they’ve been cultivated for centuries. Their deep crimson color comes from lycopene, a powerful antioxidant also found in tomatoes and watermelons.

With a naturally sweet, earthy flavor and a touch of juiciness, red carrots are perfect for eating fresh, juicing, or cooking into Indian classics like gajar ka halwa. They thrive particularly well in the cooler months, rewarding gardeners with vibrant, nutrient-rich roots that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
