Purple carrots

Anyone growing these? not sure I like them this colour!!

 

They look even worse before they are washed

No, I will not grow them. Old fashioned Nantes for me.

 

I did time ago , but the one in your picture are not real , the real purple look like that .

 

Yuk!

 

Not for me I think I will stick with the red - the purple will clash with my dinner plates!

 

I like purple food, but the top image has obviously been doctored! Are carrots (even more) healthy with a good dose of anthocyanins in?

 

I am this year plus another type which is a variety of colours (I posted about them back in January)

Here's the pic of the seed packets from when I first posted

​

Purple are bottom left; other coloured variety bottom right.

Thought it would bring some interest to the table

 

Well how about some red brussels sprouts!!!

 

Oh go on, they would look nice beside your purple carrots!!!

well at this point

 

My friend bought me a funky veg kit for xmas which has purple carrots & sprouts in,ive sown red brussel sprouts(which lare purple on the pic) and they germinated this morning,i dont think the carrots need sowing yet but i will have to do them as she wants a report
It also has yellow corgettes,brightlight swiss chard and tigrella tomatos with it

 

What is it with all this purple!!!

Royalty, val; royalty

 

This is strange! I'm reading a novel at the moment set during the medieval period and it seems back then purple carrots were being grown.
