Carrot Red Deep Desi Vegetable Seeds

Grow Authentic Desi Lal Gajar — India's Beloved Deep Red Winter Carrot

Bring the true taste of Indian winters to your kitchen garden with Carrot Red Deep Desi Vegetable Seeds. The deep red desi gajar (Daucus carota) is the quintessential Indian carrot — longer, sweeter, and more flavourful than orange varieties, with a rich crimson-red colour that runs all the way through. It's the star of Gajar Ka Halwa, Kanji, and winter salads across North India.
