RE: Purple/Black Carrots. Yes REALLY!
What! This is crazy. I did not now that carrots could be purple.
And you say it tastes just the same, not a beetish taste?
And these have not been genetically modified or anything like that?
That is a cool thing to have, such a peculiar vegetable.
The whole garden looks magnificent, by the way.
True story brother it tastes like nothing but a pure and good carrot albeit looking like the colour of a beet. It is actually heirloom carrots are all and used to be this way till orange ones and only orange were commercialized. Thanks for the comment and love. Cheer$;)
I learned something new today. It's embarrassing. How come I never ran into this before! :)
It's funny because we have things like passion fruit, which are usually yellow, but they also can be found in purple. We don't see them very often, but once in a while you find in the market someone selling purple passion fruits.
Ye man its all about what was commercially viable I think we all need to get back to basics and how it used to be.. Fruits and veggies all come in many colours we do not even know of because the establishment forced upon us what was commercially viable. Purple babana's Potatoes, Yellow Brinjals etc all exist I am going to plant many of the heirloom stuff soon ;lP
