Carrot: Purple Haze
(Daucus carota var. sativus)
Carrots have a swollen taproot that can be up to 25 cm long. This is generally a temperate or high altitude tropical crop and is biennial. But the variety ‘Uberlandia’ does well in the lower tropics and can set seed in the same season. Carrot roots taste best when harvested in cooler weather.
