Black Nebula Carrot (Daucus carota)
Black Nebula Carrot (Daucus carota) boasts a tender texture and a nuanced flavor profile reminiscent of wild berries. Distinguished by its remarkably deep purple hue, this variety stands out as one of the darkest and most antioxidant-rich carrots available. Originating from typical carrots discovered in a northern Indian market, selective breeding for the darkest roots has resulted in the development of this superfood gem, now categorized among the black carrot varieties.
These stunning carrots exhibit a deep purple coloration extending from skin to core, measuring 9-10 inches in length and featuring fine hairs and a tapered shape. Despite their vibrant hue, they maintain their color integrity even when cooked, intensifying to an even darker shade. With a maturity period of 75-80 days, they offer a sweet and distinctive taste experience
