Kuroda Carrot is an heirloom carrot variety that originated in Japan. This chantenay-type carrot is shorter, with broad shoulders and a less-pronounced taper from top to bottom. These short, stocky carrots are renowned for their flavor, texture, and sweetness.
Kuroda Carrots performs exceptionally well in warmer climates, where growing traditional varieties may be difficult. While they can be overwintered, they perform well when grown in spring as temperatures are warming. Because they are a chantenay-type, they also are great for hard clay or rocky soils.
