How are purple carrots different?

Purple carrots are pigmented differently than other carrots. It is called anthocyanins – this is a powerful antioxidant that acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps boost the immune system.

Yes, the color pigment runs through the whole carrot and can be seen when sliced and prepared.

Can you overcook carrots?

Yes, by overcooking them you will remove the nutrients from your carrots. You want to watch them closely while cooking them so that they are tender-crisp. You can test them by poking a fork into them to see how done they are. If it is really hard to insert the fork, they aren’t done yet. If there is no resistance and can be mashed with the fork they are overcooked. Finding the balance is what you want.
