According to CCTV's "International News" report: Carrots have high nutritional value and are known as "little ginseng". Recently, a special carrot appeared in a British supermarket and attracted many customers because it was not an ordinary orange, but a bright purple.
Purple carrots on supermarket shelves are still a new thing for many people. However, they may not know that this carrot is not a new variety. Carrots are native to the Middle East and Far East and have been cultivated for more than two thousand years. The earliest carrots were colorful, including white, purple, red, yellow, green and even black carrots, but they did not have the orange color that is common today.
Russell Crowe supermarket staff: "Carrots were introduced to the Netherlands in the 16th century. After a while, the Dutch developed the orange carrots that we are now familiar with and like very much."
The purple carrots sold in supermarkets are cultivated by Elhan Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Company. The person in charge of the company said that the reason why this carrot appears purple is because it contains natural purple pigments like purple cabbage, but this carrot’s "Xin'er" is still orange. But in fact, many customers are attracted by the carrot's unique color.
Customer: "They look very beautiful. To me, a good dish must have all the colors, aromas and tastes. It is different from orange carrots. I want to try it."
In fact, this kind of carrot not only looks good, it tastes sweeter than ordinary carrots and has high nutritional value. It is reported that Elhan Company will launch more colorful carrots by the end of this year, and people will have more choices by then.
