    Why yes, I have eaten purple carrots. xD My mother gave me a strange look when I had it in my salad but it does taste just like a regular carrot.

    They were more like radishes but people thought they would be more palate pleasing if they were orange. So a little screwing round with nature, carrots are now orange.

    I thought it was because the main growers and exporters of carrots in Europe was Holland (or maybe Austria =_=) and they breed them until they were orange because it matched their flag x.x Then the purple carrot quickly petered out until modern day where they are a rarity.

    wow, that's so cool how people actually know about them! my neighbor and i did an entire research thing on purple carrots, not for school, just because we thought they were wicked awesome XD! i'm kinda shocked at the amount of people that have actually eaten them, considering the fact that i thought they were an evil carrot mutation...
