When I noticed the purple carrots in Supa save – Seria, for the first time, I felt very surprised. I searched in Google about this and found some interesting info.

Purple carrots date back thousands of years, originating in Ancient Persia. As well as having all the health benefits of orange carrots, it has added benefit of being a great source of anti-oxidants with naturally occurring anthocyanins. Purple carrots have 28 times more anthocyanins than an orange carrot. It has naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

Since I was not sure about the taste of this carrot, I decided to go for making juice before making any curry. And yes, it tastes excellent and better than orange carrot. Im not sure whether it will be available everywhere. But if you get it, try making this juice and enjoy.
