Grow something different this winter with Black Carrot, also known as Kali Gajar. This traditional North Indian winter carrot produces long roots with a deep purple-black colour, rich in natural anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in berries and red cabbage.

Black carrots are prized for the classic fermented kanji drink, and also make a striking gajar halwa, pickles, salads and juices. A fun, colourful crop to grow in pots, grow bags and kitchen gardens.

Sowing Instructions

Carrots grow best when sown directly where they will grow, as they do not like being transplanted. Use a pot or grow bag at least 12 inches deep, filled with loose, stone-free, well-draining soil mixed with compost. Sow the seeds about 0.5 cm deep, cover lightly and water gently with a spray. Seeds usually germinate in 8–15 days.

Keep the soil surface evenly moist until the seedlings appear. Thin the seedlings to about 5–8 cm apart so each root has room to develop.

Sunlight Requirements

Place the plants where they receive approximately 5–6 hours of sunlight daily.

Watering & Care

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist; uneven watering can make roots crack or fork. Avoid fresh manure or heavy nitrogen feeding, which causes hairy, split roots. Add a little well-decomposed compost or vermicompost a month after sowing. Cover any exposed root tops with soil.

Harvesting

Roots are usually ready about 90–100 days after sowing. Harvest when the tops of the roots are about 2–3 cm wide. Water the soil a day before so the roots pull out easily.

Package Includes:
10 Black Carrot / Kali Gajar seeds.

Note: Germination, root length, colour intensity, yield and harvesting time may vary depending on seed freshness, temperature, climate, soil conditions, sunlight and overall growing care. Product images show mature black carrots for reference.
