Before the 17th century, almost all cultivated carrots were purple.
Carrots are a vitamin-rich root vegetable. You can find carrots in a variety of colors besides traditional orange, including yellow, red and purple. Carrots have lots of beta carotene which is great for dental health and healthy skin. Enjoy your carrots sticks with peanut or almond butter for a high protein snack. Dip your carrot sticks in hummus for a healthy dose of protein and fiber. Guacamole is a potassium-rich dip that pairs well with the flavor of carrots.
