Vegetable
Yellow Carrot
A tier
Yellow carrots lack heavy orange beta-carotene colour yet eat sweet and mild, often with a softer, less “carroty” punch some kids prefer. Flesh is sunny pale gold; cores are usually fine in good strains. Historical European and Middle Eastern types were yellow before orange dominance. Roast with honey, purée into pale soups, or mix in rainbow trays. Juice is golden rather than deep orange. Flavour sits gentle and clean. Quality packs of Yellow Carrot declare origin or harvest cues when possible; fresher lots keep Historic Colour brighter through Purée.
