Soil: Choose loose, well-drained, organic-rich sandy loam or loam with pH 6.0–7.0. Deep tillage and removal of rocks help produce straight roots.
Sowing Time: Late-maturing variety, requires a long growing season. Sow as early as soil can be worked in spring, or about 135 days before expected harvest. Tolerates cool to moderate climates.
Sowing Method: Cover seeds ¼–½ inch (0.6–1.2 cm) deep, rows 20–30 cm apart, plant spacing 3–5 cm. Keep soil moist until emergence at 15–20°C.
Thinning: Thin to 5–8 cm apart. Overcrowding results in smaller roots.
Water & Fertilizer: Moderate fertilizer needs. Increased phosphorus and potassium support root development and color intensity. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during root expansion.
Harvest: Ready about 135 days after sowing when roots reach desired size. Late-maturing varieties need patience for full anthocyanin development

Product Introduction
Blackish Purple Carrot is a distinctive anthocyanin-rich variety with deep purple-black skin and flesh, colored consistently from skin to core. This late-maturing variety takes approximately 135 days to mature, with slender roots about 7 inches (18 cm) long. The flavor is mild and sweet, suitable for fresh eating, juicing, and natural colorant extraction. Black carrots are among the earliest cultivated carrot types, renowned for their high antioxidant content and significantly higher anthocyanin levels compared to common orange varieties.
