No, this first pic is not an artistic rendition of turds – those are purple carrots!
And this is one of the things you can do with purple carrots – carrot cake!
Apologies for the lack of posts recently but Easter, the Offspring’s birthday and being on a roll with Innerscape have left me with little spare energy. Next week will be better. 🙂
cheers

Ooh, nice. I love purple carrots and purple cabbage too! 🙂 There was a Catalyst program on a while ago that said the purpleness has an ingredient in it called Anthocyanin: “In Toowoomba at the University of Southern Queensland, Lindsay Brown researches the medicinal power of natural foods to counteract obesity and reverse its inflammatory effects, or more specifically fruit and vegetables of a certain colour – the colour purple. Anthocyanin is a natural pigment, one of a range of compounds in plants that keep their systems healthy and potentially ours too.”

The first orange carrots to appear in England were grown here in Somerset, where I live, in the 17th. c. and the seed were imported from Holland. Before that, all British carrots were white (ish). I can’t taste the difference between orange, white, black and red carrots, so stick with the orange ones, as that’s my favourite colour. Mind you, that cake looks damned good, and I could eat it, lots of it. Now!

-grin- You’ll be pleased to know it /was/ delicious. Taste aside though, purple carrots actually have rather significant health benefits. Watch this space!
