Carrots Purple - Certified Organic - 1kg

Certified organic purple carrots. Same sweetness as an orange carrot, just a lot more colour.

Purple carrots bring a bit of colour to a spring table in the Northern Rivers, and kids love them.

They get their colour from anthocyanins, the same antioxidants you find in blueberries, and they hold it beautifully when eaten raw. They'll bleed a little when cooked, which is half the fun.

In the kitchen

• Sliced into ribbons for a salad
• Roasted with olive oil and za'atar
• Pickled with vinegar and chilli for a fridge staple
• Cut into sticks for dipping

How to prepare

Scrub well under running water. There's no need to peel.

Spring recipe: Roast purple carrots with za'atar

Halve purple carrots lengthways and roast with olive oil and salt at 200°C for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with za'atar and serve over yoghurt with mint and a drizzle of honey.

How to store

Twist off any tops and keep them in a bag in the crisper. They'll stay crunchy for a couple of weeks.

Sold in 1kg portions. Add them to your box or order on their own.
