There’s a purple carrot in my fridge right now…
I have grown orange, yellow, and purple carrots. They are all yummy.
…and they each taste different, too!..fantastic variety…
Yuck, natural carrots? That’s gross!
/s of course
I’ve had them. Well. We bought some and the very next day they were already limp and wet and grody. So maybe next batch will be better?
Thank you for reminding me that I should try the purple carrots stashed away in my fridge.
You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?
I have and they are delicious
Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that’s become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.
Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.
Carrots used to be purple originally.
I just had purple carrots yesterday. Is there some controversy about them I don’t know about?
Imagine actually shopping for carrots 🤣

Which way? For me cooked carrots are horrific just like mushrooms. Good raws are super nice and crunchy.
The texture issue is with cooked carrots. However, I also don’t like how carrots taste. Fresh fruits and vegetables in general, actually. Literally the fresher they are, the more they taste like themselves, so I’m one of the only people alive who prefers vegetables from fast food places 🙃
mushrooms
I feel you on the mushroom texture, but still, cooked mushrooms are my favorite “”“vegetable”“” by a country mile. Like the texture sucks, but it’s a savory vegetable. It’s the cool vegetable. The rest “taste like veggies” to me. 🤮 Like I really owe mushrooms an apology for not eating them for the first half of my life.
Wow yea that is a frustrating position to be in. When you have a taste that is physically unpleasant, it really makes it inedible. Worse if others can’t taste it, as I feel half don’t believe it could taste different.
I can imagine boiling carrots in a stew or in the beans. Or thoroughly steamed. Or roasted with potatoes
Yeah, I like carrots in my soup.
Carrots being orange by default is thanks to the Dutch. Fucking bastards.
Leave it to the Dutch to standardise your food until everything is mediocre
Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.
I already did. The place I buy vegetables had purple carrots for a while, which cost more than orange carrots. I still bought them.
How were they?
Nice. They taste like orange carrots, but with a peppery kick.
Purple.
