That amazing pointy orange root, which, by the way, also comes in purple and yellow.

People think these are funky modern varieties, but the purple carrot and the yellow are actually going back to some older varieties that predate the orange carrot.

And you can be sure of one thing, and I'm betting my bottom dollar that Sarah's going to back me up on this, that a different colored version of the same vegetable is going to have a slightly different nutrient profile and difference good.

You're going to get something from a purple carrot that you don't get from an orange one.

Or cook it in a sauce where what comes out of it will stay in the sauce.

or roast it to concentrate the flavor.

So the only thing that comes out is water and then you're preserving it.

But tell me whether you think this is right, Sarah.

But I think there's a halfway house.

This is a great tip for getting kids to eat carrots if they don't want to munch on a big raw carrot.

Grated carrots with a dressing.

And here's my tip.

If your kids don't like a vinaigrette, just try squeezing half an orange onto a bowl of grated carrots and

maybe a tiny pinch of salt and stir that in.

And there's suddenly a juiciness there.

And the acidity of the orange will start to break down a grated carrot.

And you will get a little bit of pre-digested beta carotene coming in that if you just munched a completely raw carrot with no dressing, you wouldn't get.

Okay, we haven't got fermentation starting yet, but we've got a little bit of extraction and breaking down of the texture from the acidity of the orange.

And most kids love the flavor of orange.
