Carrot Season In India ((free))

In India, carrots are not just a vegetable; they are an ingredient for celebration.

Sowing usually begins in August or September for local (Desi) varieties, while European varieties are sown in October or November . Harvesting typically occurs 70 to 100 days later, lasting through the spring.

In India, the arrival of carrots is not just agricultural news; it is a cultural signal that winter has truly arrived. Unlike many Western countries where carrots are available year-round in supermarkets, in India, the carrot is distinctively seasonal. The sudden appearance of vibrant red and orange heaps in local markets marks the beginning of the festive and culinary season known as Sardi .
