Carrots have not always been orange; originally they were purple and in the future, there may be rainbow colored carrots.

So many of the foods we have been lost in the last century or two. Thank God there are still purple and white carrot seeds out there to be had! (Also--I hear the taste puts store-bought carrots to shame!)
It was part of a program for heirloom vegetables.
The taste of the purple and white carrots cannot be matched by "mega farm" carrots. These are sugary sweet.
