Carrots from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Indian carrots (Gajar) are highly diverse, ranging from the globally recognized
sweet, cylindrical 'Nantes' orange varieties grown in Punjab and Haryana, to the
traditional, antioxidant-heavy red/black 'Desi' carrots. Renowned for their high
Brix, crunch, and perfectly straight shape, our mechanically washed and
hydro-cooled carrots are a cold-chain export staple.
