The Texas Aggie Carrot (a maroon colored carrot with extra flavor and
nutritional value). Don't know if seed is available. Then there's the
BetaSweet carrot which is available. I would like to know more about
this also. Have a little info here:

I read an article in Boy's Life recently about a new variety of carrot
called Beta Sweets. They are purple not orange, and they are supposed
to be much sweeter than regular carrots. I thought it would be fun to
grow some. Does anybody know where to get seed? The Nov/Dec issue of
Organic Gardening mentions them (about 1 line comment) on p. 29. It
says they are a new release from Leonard Pike, Ph. D. at Texas A&M.
The article indicates that seed is not available, but is that the last
word on the subject?
