...Poisonous? I have had a few lately in my sacks of Carrots and I'm not sure if they are safe to feed?

Yellow carrots are fine, did you also know you can get white and purple carrots . I only know as I'm a greengrocer.

Thanks! I knew you could get purple Broccoli but not Carrots, do you actually sell them? I have never seen them in a shop.

No. But I would if customers would use their taste buds and not their eyes lol. You don't see them in any shops as people only want orange carrots. Last week had only 2 purple cauli in shop to see if people would try and I bought one myself, prefer creamy coloured cauli as purple had no taste.( look out for more creamy in colour than white and see if you notice the flavour.

You'll be pleased at todays news then. The EU rules regarding standard size an conformity of shape is to be abolished in July 2009.
 
Let's hope that the EU ruling does not bump up the price of 'pony carrots'. Remember, we get them cheaply as they are not wanted by the supermarkets for humnan consumption. I think the price will now go up as the supermarkets will sell them as 'Budget Carrots' & we will end up paying more.

Why does everything the EU do increase the price on everything?

And carrots were originally purple, with the odd orange one appearing. Some smart person some where selectively bred for orange carrots
