Delicious and Healthy Lies.
Orange carrots are common now, but originally Purple carrots were all the craze. The orange ones were know today were cultivated over time by the Dutch from yellow and white wild carrots. So what happened? Did the purple carrot go the way of the dinosaur, protecting the new furry carrots from meteorites? Nope, they’re still around today. The fact you might not have heard of them is because they just don’t taste as good as orange carrots.
They were orange underneath the whole time! Carrots didn’t get sweeter, they got more naked. Hot.

“Would you like some green juice” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Oranges are naturally green in most areas of the world. We get oranges ones in the U.S. because it’s slightly cooler here. It’s even possible for orange oranges to go green, not in like buying a Prius, but actually turn green again in a process aptly called regreening. It can occur if there are blossoms on the tree at the same time as the fruit, or if the fruit has become over-ripened.
