Carrots used to be purple originally.

Carrots being orange by default is thanks to the Dutch. Fucking bastards.

Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.

I grow carrots of multiple colors all year round. They honestly all taste the same.

I have and they are delicious

There’s a purple carrot in my fridge right now…

Sure. I’ll also accept purple and red sweet potatoes.

I have grown orange, yellow, and purple carrots. They are all yummy.

Purple is the old carrot. Orange is newer.

Same price or cheaper? Then sure. Variety is good.

I dunno, I tried purple potatoes once and they were pretty awful.

Yeah, my daughter loves purple color. So making mashed potatoes and adding in purple carrots would be kinda nice.

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?

Purple carrots have a better taste, in my opinion. Not perfectly interchangeable with the standard orange ones, so having the option for both would be nice

Why not? Always try new things. It’s not like the grocer will recommend poisons anyway.
