Was interested to read about your purple carrots - when I was in
Afghanistan in the mid 1970's the local carrots grown there were quite
purple - haven't seen them anywhere else - wonder if this 'new strain' is
related? (and how many 'new' patented varieties are simply old heritage
varieties from remote areas and regions) - by the way I didn't notice any
bitterness in the flavour
