Fresh local organically grown rainbow carrots, a mix of colorful carrot varieties spanning purple, yellow, orange, and white in the same bunch. The color variation comes down to different pigments: orange carrots get their color from beta-carotene, purple from anthocyanins, and yellow from lutein, while white carrots simply lack pigment altogether. Beyond color, each type carries a subtly different flavor, with purple carrots often slightly earthier and yellow ones a touch milder than standard orange. Roast them whole for a striking side dish, shave raw into salads, or steam and glaze for a simple preparation that shows off the color. Pairs well with olive oil, thyme, honey, and goat cheese.
