Did you know that carrots weren't always orange? In reality, they were purple. The Dutch turned them into oranges in the 17th century, after multiple crossings and experiments, in order to achieve the color of the Dutch royal house of Orange. And they got it. The result was a softer and sweeter variety that spread throughout Europe. But before, they were purple. And today this oriental variety, which is actually the original, is being revived, along with other varieties of different colors. And they can all be grown in pots.
