What is a Black Carrot?

A black carrot is one color cultivar of the carrot, scientifically known as Daucus carota subsp. sativus, and is most commonly found in China and India. Carrots may traditionally be orange in America and other parts of the world, but carrots can come in many colors, including red, purple, white, yellow, and black. The variation in color is primarily due to the concentration of compounds found in the various types. The dark color of the purple and black varieties signals a high concentration of anthocyanins, whereas orange and yellow carrots tend to be higher in beta-carotene and other active ingredients.

Black carrots have a unique taste, decidedly different than white or orange carrots. Black carrots have an unexpected sweetness to them, as well as a subtle spicy aftertaste. Although these carrots are black on the outside, many of them will be paler in color in the center. Black carrots are most commonly available in the East, where they are grown, but in specialty and import stores you can still find these uniquely colored vegetables. Black carrot extract is also widely used for its health properties.

What is Black Carrot Used For?

Black carrots can be used in many of the same ways as a normal carrot. It is particularly good in crudites and for dipping, thanks to its sweet flavor. It can be added to stews and soups, as well as curries.

Black carrot extract also has a number of uses, including as a natural food coloring. Many people want to be kosher in their dietary habits, meaning that they avoid synthetic food colorings, so black carrot extract is useful in these situations. There are few natural sources of such a dark color, particularly when those extracts are also packed with antioxidants and other useful nutrients. This extract can be used to replace popular food colorings, such as FD&C Red 40.

Seriously bad..

Have been asked review this order twice now, but still no delivery has arrived to me.
No notification of delivery or anything.
So disappointing.
