I've never seen them at the store.

Never heard of a yellow carrot!

Reminds me of yesterday, I was shopping for a bottle of wine and I saw a bottle of White Merlot...never figured that Merlot could be white!

Re: Yellow carrots????

Nu, hate to tell you this, but there already is a 'red orange'. It is called a Blood Orange and they are delicious. Many years ago, when we were in Italy, I aked for a glass of orange juice, and yes, it was red. We can usually get them here, in early spring. They are imported from Spain, Italy or Morocco.

My local grocery store is selling the yellow carrots now. Haven't tried them yet though. I guess if they can grown yellow tomatoes, they can grow yellow carrots!!!

Re: Yellow carrots????

Our stores have orange cauliflower, it is cheaper than the white ones, go figure, it still tastes the same.

Re: Yellow carrots????

Some of the 'new' veggies, aren't new at all. It is easier for grocery stores to offer only 1 or 2 generic types of veggie--like beefsteak and roma tomatoes.. In the old days, there were many diverse strains of tomatoes--like Rube's black and striped tomatoes. Now they are called 'heirloom' and cost the earth.

I love broccoflower. It looks like cauli, but is green and has a very nice taste. And if you ever get a chance, try Purple Sweeties--a small purple skinned sweet potato. The flesh is golden and more mealy than a regular sweet potato--absolutely yummy roasted.
