That&#8217;s when Dutch people started growing them in their national color. A University of Texas researcher grew a purple carrot back in 1989. The color is due to the anthocyanins (pigments) contained in the purple carrot. By the way, the color difference does not drastically change the taste; the purple carrots are slightly sweeter than the orange ones.    <\/span>\n<h2><b>Purple exterior, orange interior<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The purple carrot, as we know it, is not entirely purple. It has the familiar orange color inside. Because purple carrots remain orange on the inside, they still contain a lot of beta-carotene. The human body makes vitamin A from this substance.   <\/span>\n<h3><b>Functions of vitamin A<\/b><\/h3>\nVitamin A is good for your eyesight, among other things. It supports the condition of your eye and helps keep your vision sharp.
