Default Colorful Carrots - They Don't Have to be Orange

Hi gang ...

This morning I discovered white carrots. Wow! What a nice change from the typical orange carrot, yet it tastes the same. How nice if you want the taste and nutrition of a carrot, but not the color it may impart to stocks and other dishes.

So, being a curious guy, I looked up white carrots and found, to my surprise, that carrots can be found in many colors - red, orange, yellow, purple, and white - maybe others as well.

It seems that in different parts of the world carrots other than orange are preferred or used more frequently than here in the US.

Maybe this is old news to a lot of you, but it sure sets my imagination running.

Shel
