Featured Varieties
A classic export variety with a cylindrical shape, blunt tip, and small core. Its uniform shape and sweet, crisp texture make it suitable for both fresh consumption and processing; widely grown across the Konya plain.
A sweet and juicy variety grown in the calcareous soil and spring water unique to Ankara's Beypazari district. Its distinctive aroma makes it popular for fresh consumption and especially for Beypazari carrot juice production.
Growing & Harvest
Carrots grow in the deep, loamy soils of the Konya plain, sown in spring and harvested in autumn; regular irrigation and stone-free, well-worked soil are essential for straight, crack-free root development. Around Beypazari, the region's calcareous soil and karstic spring water give rise to a locally distinctive sweet and aromatic carrot. Harvest takes place once the roots reach the desired diameter, pulled by machine or by hand; after soil residue is removed, the carrots can stay fresh in cold storage for a long time.
Uses & Applications
Carrots are widely used in Turkish cuisine both raw and cooked; grated into salads, diced into stews, and used as a base ingredient in tarator sauces and olive-oil dishes. Beypazari carrots are especially prized for fresh-pressed juice production thanks to their high sugar content and aroma. In export markets, a straight cylindrical shape, bright orange color, and crack-free surface are regarded as quality markers; rapid cooling after harvest keeps them fresh for longer.
