It was a complete lie about them helping you see in the dark... during the war, when sweets were subjected to rationing the government came up with this idea to get kids to eat carrots instead.

You should check them out bud. If you grew one and cut slice off would see why they called 'purple haze' is like purple shades and yellow like haze through it..from bright to faint. Really looks amazing. If you do like purple carrots and purple mash etc you be surprised how many young people think they eating space food after all not many kids eat carrots, but purple carrots
You don't actually get them much in shops,even specialist veg shops...I've found, guess consumer demand and all that. Its like vegetables in shops mostly all straight and perfect looking. Nature doesn't grow like that. I grow organic and well my carrots although fat and juicy tend to be funny shapes and not like the carrots you see in shops, also very chunky and thick but its how things grow |

"Carrot cake,right or wrong?
Right!!
Is it made of carrots? Cake and carrots? Doesnt seem right"
To be honest you don't taste the carrot, or beetroot if you use them, they basically just add body and moisture.
I love both but hate and I mean hate beetroot, you just don't taste it.  |
