How to Grow Samaurai Red Carrots

Prepare fertile, deeply dug, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in early fall in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Thin by cutting tops to avoid disturbing remaining roots. Mulch to keep soil cool and conserve moisture.

Harvesting Carrots

Water well before harvesting. Twist when pulling out of the ground to keep the leaves from breaking off in your hand. Once harvested, cut the leaves right away. This prevents the leaves from drawing moisture and nourishment from the root.

After a couple of frosts, flavor enhances. Mulch with straw for protection in harsher climates.

Culinary Tips

Excellent carrot for oshogatsu. Its sweet flavor makes this variety ideal for carrot juice. Also, enjoy them fresh or steamed. Julienne cut carrots and daikon and toss with a su dressing.
