Carrots

Purple carrots have a flavour similar to regular orange carrots, sweet and earthy. Anthocyanins, strong antioxidants giving purple carrots their colour, may help reduce inflammation and support heart health.

Available late summer to early winter season

Yellow Carrots’ skin is a bright yellow or golden colour with pale yellow inside. They taste mild and subtly sweet. Lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids found in yellow carrots, are good for eye health and may help stave off age-related macular degeneration.

The UK has a year-round supply of yellow carrots.

White carrots taste milder than orange carrots, with a delicate, somewhat peppery flavour. White carrots have fewer levels of beta-carotene, but they are still a good source of fibre, vitamin C, and potassium.

In season late summer to early winter
