My first purple carrot

Checkmark off the bucket list! Funny to think last year I had never seen purple carrots before, and now I see them everywhere! Great thing about that is, I was able to taste my first purple carrot without traveling far distances or expending too much. Found these rainbow colored carrots at my local Albertsons (on sale nonetheless):

Funky how the insides of the purple ones are actually yellow:

Different-looking, but taste like normal carrots.

Organic purple carrots must be the new "it" vegetable, even in baby food! I've also been seeing the ingredient as added coloring for juices. 

Gaining strength in purple foods

I was at my local Albertsons grocery store this weekend, and this juice bottle caught my attention:

V8 Purple Power Vegetable Juice

Yes, for the love the all things purple, I am a culprit of trying all foods that are purple hued too. Unfortunately this vegetable blend is actually an icky brown color, but what fascinated me the most is the bottle label on "purple carrots." What! I have never heard of purple carrots. How funky is that? I am going to put "finding fresh purple carrots" on my bucket list. 

Although I am adventurous in tasting purple vegetables and plants (eggplant, lettuce, radishes, onions, etc.) none has really hit the spot for me. Probably because I'm not a huge fan of vegetables in general since I was a kid, haha! Veggies, bleh! But looking at the natural hue from nature is wondrous! 

I'm a better fan of man-made purple in desserts and sweets. Speaking of, I'm a follower of this adorable Cakespy site. I cannot get enough of Jessie Oleson Moore's cute cupcake drawings. I'm dying over this "Desserts that are Purple" print she has on Etsy:
