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
Those God damn dastardly Dutch
Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.
Carrots used to be purple originally.
I just had purple carrots yesterday. Is there some controversy about them I don’t know about?
You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?
Yes please I want my food looking like its grown in fae soil. My wife makes these purple potatoes that are magical.
… really? I’m bad at getting sarcasm.
Purple potatoes are very real.
They’re extra cool to make mashed potatoes, fries, or chips with.
More antioxidants and slower increase in blood sugar than ordinary potatoes.
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.
I grow carrots of multiple colors all year round. They honestly all taste the same.
Yeah, I already buy the tri-colored carrots, and the purple are my favs.
Same price or cheaper? Then sure. Variety is good.
Thank you for reminding me that I should try the purple carrots stashed away in my fridge.
Sure. I’ll also accept purple and red sweet potatoes.
Purple is the old carrot. Orange is newer.
Why not?
I have and they are delicious
