Begečka šargarepa

Begečka šargarepa is a Serbian type of carrot originating from Begeč. The carrots are cultivated from the Daucus Carota L variety. They have an intense orange color, and the flesh is crunchy, dense, slightly sweet, and rich in flavor. Suitable climate and soil conditions are great for carrot cultivation in the area, a practice that dates back to 1927.

The Begeč area is well-known for the production of carrots, as well as potatoes. Nowadays, local farmers produce so much Begeč carrots that one can see vast light green carrot fields near the village, and many of those carrots are exported to other countries as well.
