Yes. They taste just like regular carrots but when boiled quite a bit of the dark colour fades. I also didn't find they germinated very well so had to sow heavily to get what I wanted.

Wouldn't really bother with them again unless given free seeds.

I thought that they were good. Steam, braise or micro to keep the purple colour.

I grow these every year, they do really well for us and my children love taking them to school as a snack because of their colour.

I've never had much success with carrots but these did well for me the year before last.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
