I bought some orange centred-seedlings from Bunnings, tasted the leaves and they seem like a mild parsley. Now just to see if they survive my tender care

I bought the purple/burgundy black carrots from Coles and found them absolutely delicious raw.

While they had a certain carrotty taste they were much sweeter, crisp and far juicier than any ‘orange’ carrot I have ever tasted.

I would say that the taste is more like a beetroot without the ‘earthy’ taste that spoils beetroots.

When one wilted I cut it up and put it in cold water to re-crisp. It coloured the water bright red, and left me with a delicious drink

Now just to find them to grow, since Coles have stopped stocking them

Read some of the articles that has been posted here as it was interesting reading them as I seen them for the first time today as they were selling them for about $1.00 kg at Flemington markets Sydney. Hope this can help anyone here in the purple carret power……..hehe

Oh just thought I’d add that if you wanted the deep purple carrot seeds you can get them from Cornucopia Seeds, or Greenharvest seeds. The other types of purple carrots (with the orange centres) can be got through most online seed nurseries and I think they even stock them at Bunnings.

Have been growing purple vegies in my yard for a few years now – carrots, potatoes, broccoli, caulies, beans and purple-podded peas!BTW the deep purple cultivar is an F1 hybrid – so can’t save your own seeds from it. The cosmic puple, purple dragon and puple haze types breed true.

Hi there, Im making daily fresh juice with purple carrots and Im cooking Stir Frys, making salads the works…lol The ONLY reason Im using these is I heard they are better for us due to the antioxidants – True???
Anyway, raw they taste similar to a normal orange carrot. I will say though, my 2 year old now has her daily intake of veges and fruit thanks to the juice and she loves the idea of the PURPLE CARROT lol
