Carrot
The production of carrots in Hokkaido is the most in Japan
(about 30%). In Hokkaido, the most productive areas are Otofuke
town and Makubetsu town, both in Tokachi, followed by Bihoro
town and Shari town, both in Okhotsk.
Carrots are produced from April to October; in the case of
hothouse cultivation, they are produced from late July to
early August; in the case of outdoor cultivation, they are
produced from August to October.
Most of the carrots now are the Western type. Go (five) sun
(the old way to measure / = 3.03cm) carrots are about 15 to
20cm long and the point of the root is round.

(Koyo Nigo (No. 2))

Most carrots grown outdoors are of this variety.
Koyo Nigo doesn't have the typical carrot smell. It is also
sweeter and tastier than others. Carrots used to be the typical
vegetable disliked by children. Now, however, due to the introduction
of this variety, carrots can be found on the list of vegetables
that children like. |
|
(Beta 312)
|
This is the main variety for hothouse cultivation.
It has a lot of beta-carotene, and is sweet without a strong
carrot smell. Both its root and body are dark red. It has minimal
root cracking and smooth skin. |
