New Kuroda

New Kuroda Carrot (Daucus carota)

• Improved Japanese Kuroda heat tolerant type

• Sweet smooth texture for fresh eating

• Blunt tipped roots medium length

• Performs in heat and tough soils

• Reliable summer carrot where others fail

New Kuroda is a refined selection of the classic Japanese Kuroda carrot, developed to handle heat, pressure, and less-than-ideal soil while still delivering good eating quality. The roots are bright orange with a blunt tip and a smooth, dense texture that stays tender even when grown through warmer months. This type was bred specifically for regions with hot summers, where many carrots lose flavor or fail to size properly.

In the kitchen, New Kuroda balances sweetness and structure, making it useful both raw and cooked without turning soft or bland. For growers, it’s a practical choice for spring and summer sowings, especially in climates where heat stress limits carrot options. It’s chosen for consistency, resilience, and dependable flavor when conditions are challenging.
