Pusa Asita Black

Originating from India, Pusa Asita Black is a visually striking carrot variety distinguished by its deep, almost black skin and flesh. It is notable for its exceptionally high anthocyanin content, making it a potent source of antioxidants. While it demonstrates remarkable heat tolerance suitable for Southern climates, the roots develop their sweetest, richest flavor when harvested in cooler fall or winter months. The intense dark pigmentation runs deep and can bleed like a beet when cut. In North America, this variety is typically planted in the summer for a late-season harvest.
