Nakagusku Island Carrot

Island carrots, also known as 'chideekuni' in the local dialect, add color to Okinawa's winter dining tables. In Nakagusku Village, these vibrant yellow island carrots are harvested during the winter season. They are characterized by a slender appearance, being longer and thinner than mainland varieties, with a strong sweetness and soft texture. When used in 'carrot shirishiri' (a staple of Okinawan home cooking) or stir-fries, their subtle sweetness stands out. Their bright yellow color brightens the table and stimulates the appetite. Island carrots have been cherished since ancient times as a nutritious vegetable. They are a traditional vegetable with a gentle flavor that embodies the old wisdom of Okinawa.
