Try something new: Purple Carrots

It's well known that carrots are good for us. They're healthy they have lots of that beta carotene stuff which becomes vitamin A in the body and is good for the eyes. They're also one of the tastier of the vegetables. Most people seem to like them. They can become cake, they are good candied, they come in purple. Wait what?

PURPLE??? THEY COME IN PURPLE?

Carrots can come in a variety of colors. They can be orange, red, yellow and even purple. Of course the different antioxidants come in different amounts depending on the carrot. Where as the orange carrots have a lot more beta carotene the purple carrots that we had with dinner the other night more anthocyanins than beta carotene. Anthocyanins are good for you antioxidants and nothing to be scared of.

The best part of purple carrots? They taste the same as the more commonly seen carrots. They are cooked the same. They can be interchanged in the same recipes. They just happen to look really super cool and different on your plate. So, the whole thing is a win win. No new skills needed.
