I have grown some Supersweet carrots and amongst them is a very unusual one. The leaves are typical carrot leaves but the outside is white. Just under the skin there is a purple ring but the inner core is white. It smells like a carrot.
Anyone seen this before?
Actually looking at the title Wierd Carrot sounds like a name for a 1960s psychedical band!!
I've had the odd white carrot pop up before, never quite liked to eat them though just in case, I think they're just throwbacks to the unimproved varieties? Let us know what it tastes like!
White carrots are just fine. I grew some mixed coloured carrot seeds and they all tasted like carrots to me. Google white carrots and you will see for yourself :happy7:
Well it tasted OK! The outside was a bit bland but the inner core was very sweet.
Are you still alive? :toothy10:
Arnt white carrots sometimes gained from a crossing with wild carrots - I forget what the proper name for the flowering plant is...
