Purple
Carrots - new powerhouse (Jan 5, 2010)
As quoted on A Current Affair "There are not many vegetables quite as orange as carrots, but carrots date back to the 16th century and back then they were actually purple.
Well, the purple carrot is making a comeback in specialty grocery stores and it's not just because of the presentational value.
The purple carrot is a nutritional powerhouse and it's being hailed as one of the most powerful foods on the planet for its mighty health benefits." See feature ..See Gourmet Traveller recipe: Beetroot & Purple Carrot Salad
