A main season variety, best for fall harvest, Berlin, a Berlicum type carrot, is grown as a root vegetable, producing jumbo orange-skinned and -fleshed carrots that are bulky and cylindrical and packed with carotenes. Carrots are considered a superfood for their nutrient rich content, having a high (top 20) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density.

This herbaceous biennial plant, usually grown as an annual, is a member of the carrot (Apiaceae) family. It grows a rosette of finely divided leaves. Succession plantings every 2 to 3 weeks is recommended for continual harvest.

It is best grown in full sunlight and airy, loose, fertile, well-drained loamy soil free of rocks and clumps that stunt and misshape the root. It is resistant to Alternaria dauci (Ad), late leaf blight; Alternaria radicina (Ar), leaf spot; and Cercospra carotae (Cc), early leaf blight
