Did you know that carrots were originally purple? (click on the picture to get it bigger to read the writing)
Edited to add: They taste just like normal carrots, just stain things a bit more when you cut them up! Oh, and they're definitely not sausages!
Check out some more Wordless Wednesdays here

I thought it was sausages too at first. What do they taste like?
Count me in on the thought it was sausages. Do they taste like regular carrots?
i have never ever heard of purple carrots. Interesting!
wow. do they taste like carrots or eggplants?
wow! You really find some interesting things!
Do they taste like regular carrots? Very unique.
Happy Wednesday.
i have heard about this earlier i.e. about carrots being originally purple... i don't think that should affect the taste... just that orange seems a prettier colour..
I think I prefer the orange colour. How does the purple carrots taste?
Oh my I first thought it were raw shrimps ! So only carrots !
Purple carrots? Sounds interesting!
Nice pic!

Purple must be the up and coming color in food. Happy WW and Thanksgiving!
Hmmm, that's different! I have never seen a purple pepper either!
Have a great Wednesday!
HA! I thought they were sausages, too. I've seen seeds for the purple carrots, and blood red ones, too. I've heard they're higher in beta caroteen, or something healthy like that. Nice to hear they taste the same. The color would make for interesting carot slaw, eh?
I've posted my Wordless Wednesday, too. Enjoy! ;)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, didn't know that about them originally being purple! Wonder how they became the orange/carroty color we know today.
My Wordless Photo is posted. One you won't believe!!!
Purple carrots! Very interesting. Thanks for stopping by my WW, too.
Very weird. Not sure about the "original" color.mzap
Oh wow purple carrots at Sainsburys, do you think Asda will do a Smart-Price range for me? ;)
purple carrots, hearing that for the first time.
i have interpreted the songs on my blog
How interesting. I've never seen these in our local grocery store.
Purple carrots!!! Wonder if my horse will like those.
Do they cost the same as orange ones? Trust Sainsbury's to come up with something different.
Thanks for stopping by my WW
Ok, the purple carrots scare me. Enjoy your day!
How ODD! Happy WW!
Rachel Ray would love this
I thought they were sausages, too! I have to confess they aren't very appetizing to me.....
Wow, I had no idea. I don't think I could get used to purple carrots.
Ahh purple! my favorite color.......i think? *LOL* wow, i've learned something new ..thanks :)
Happy wednesday,
I've heard about purple carrots before, but I thought that was a joke!
Nice pic!

That is a cool veggie lesson! They could make a character on Veggie Tales out of the purple carrot....he would be a very misunderstood fellow and slightly morose. LOL

Very cool. I love the colour purple.
Happy WW!
That's very interesting. I never knew there was such a thing - or that they were originally purple. Purple is my favorite color.
That's scary I think!
I had no idea that carrots were originally purple. That is so cool. Did you know that eggplants were originally white? Now their name makes more sense to me.
I guess it really makes sense when you consider that many root vegetables have purplish or reddish skins. Turnips, red potatoes, radishes...
Thanks for visiting my blog, by the way!
Wow! Purple carrots. Where on earth did you find them?
I thought at first that they were sausages, too. I guess partially because I've never seen carrots packaged like that.
Hmmmm! That's a new one for me,too...I've never seen purple carrots!
I thought it was a package of sausages too lol. Happy WW!
That is really cool. I love purple and I love carrots. I had no clue they were actually purple. Really puts a new perspective on the years of being taught to color your carrots orange!
OMG that is wild! I bet my kids would turn their noses up, though.
So, does it follow that if your baby eats too many purple carrots they will turn purple?
Have you tried purple yams? There's a bakery in Vancouver that makes a cake with purple yams. It's good.
