Hi Tophe!

We have had these colorful carrots for a few years here and I have not really found that they taste different from the others and to make a real good comparison they should be planted in the same vegetable garden and freshly picked.

You will still let us know your impression!
:D

If it's like cherry, yellow, orange, green tomatoes ...
I find that the taste is not up to common, red in color : Cheesy:

For a dish of zucchini returned, the mixtures of green and orange are still pleasing to the eye, and therefore to the appetite.

For the green and red peppers which go well with the taste, the mixed orange only adds a more aesthetic.

colored carrots have always existed, it was in the 17th century that the seed companies modified them so richer in carotene for more flavors

As much as I agree about the yolks which are completely tasteless (not tasted the oranges but I presume that it is yellow-red mixture ...) as much I do not agree on the green ones but especially the cherries which are among the tastiest tomatoes! To do better I know that the Crimean black!

3 years ago I tried white carrots ... blah blah for the taste.

on the tomato side, the Cherokee purple has a rather particular and interesting taste, but it is a dark red tomato.

In orange tomato, the Tangerines and Carotina are not so tasteless and green side the Evergreen did not leave me a bad memory on the taste side.

this year I intended to taste Moonglow, but the weather was right for my seedlings :(

Nice gradient color, for the taste ... a little less than an orange but not tasteless either I found it ... refreshing ...

The interest can be for the plate decoration when you receive. The other day, I tasted crisps made from purple potatoes: bêêêêk!

What yuck? I love the colorful chips: carrot or beetroot or even celery !! And as they are not given, we eat less that's all good!

Well I just ate a uh ... purple but rather "blood carrot from the aspect" ...

Nice color once peeled, much tastier than yellow, I would even say tastier than conventional (I eat exclusively organic carrots since I know the treatments applied to conventional carrots)!
