The crops that are sown in the winter season are called “Rabi crops” ( also known as the “winter crop” . Winter gardening is about harvesting crops all winter that were planted in the summer and fall. This review provides the information of production of winter crops ; they are tobacco, wheat, maize, pea and gram. Tobacco [Nicotina tabacum L.] is an important commercial cash crop grown in India. It contains a chemical called nicotine which is an addictive substance. Wheat and Maize are the two important cereals for all around the world. Cereals are a good source of vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Dietary Fiber, and Calcium. Pea and gram are the two most important pulse crops. They are a good source of amino acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. These four crops are therefore, very nutritious and helps in the growth of human beings.
