Purple carrot
A carrot with deep purple skin, for contrasting plates.
Purple carrot has deep purple skin, and flesh that can be purple or orange at the core. Its flavour is sweet, with a slightly spiced note. Raw, it offers spectacular contrasts; cooked, it can tint other ingredients, which is controlled by cooking it separately.
