      Carrots being orange by default is thanks to the Dutch. Fucking bastards.

          Leave it to the Dutch to standardise your food until everything is mediocre

            Carrots used to be purple originally.

              Carrots (and corn) have come in a variety of colors since time immemorial.

                I just had purple carrots yesterday. Is there some controversy about them I don’t know about?

                  You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?

                    Yes please I want my food looking like its grown in fae soil. My wife makes these purple potatoes that are magical.

                              Purple potatoes are very real.

                              They’re extra cool to make mashed potatoes, fries, or chips with.

                                  More antioxidants and slower increase in blood sugar than ordinary potatoes.

                              Thank you for reminding me that I should try the purple carrots stashed away in my fridge.

                                Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that’s become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.

                                Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.

                                  I grow carrots of multiple colors all year round. They honestly all taste the same.

                                    Yeah, I already buy the tri-colored carrots, and the purple are my favs.

                                      Same price or cheaper? Then sure. Variety is good.

                                          Sure. I’ll also accept purple and red sweet potatoes.
