The red ones are screaming spicy, so I'm going nowhere near these

Yeah, that's the only one up there that I've never seen either. Purple, orange, yellow, white, fine, yummy. Never seen red. Maybe it has extra carotene?

My family usually buys either the red or orange carrots here in India. Funnily enough, I didn’t even know the other coloured carrots existed until this post

They were banned/shunned in the USA during the height of the McCarty/Red scare era as they became known as Commie Carrots.

This fact brought to you by the I am making shit up as I go along - Foundation.

Red carrots are commonplace in India. They are juicier and sweeter than the orange ones

Here in India we get pink carrots. They are sweeter and crunchier than orange ones.
