I love carrots and have recently discovered that carrots come in purple, white, reddish orange and the standard orange colour. They don't really taste that different but certainly look amazing. The purple carrots that I recently got were purple on the outside but orange in the inside. The vibrant colour of my smoothie comes from the purple carrots and the beetroot. Have you ever tried purple or white carrots before?
