Purple Carrots

Purple carrots are now in season.  If you have never tried them, please do.  They are very yummy and add great colour to veggie dishes.

Dubbed the antioxidant carrot, the Purple carrot - sweeter than the orange and loaded with antioxidants is best eaten fresh or in stir frys.  Purple Carrots are also delish in coleslaw.

They do tend to stain soups and lose their colour so that you can not distinguish them from the turnips.  Best to stick to the orange ones in the soups.
