FARM FRESH FRIDAY for November 5th, bringing to you Rainbow Carrots just pulled from the ground. These carrots were born and raised at Paffenroth Gardens in Warwick, NY.
- The yellow ones get their color from the pigment xanthophylls, which is also found in spinach, and is known to promote good eye health.
- The purple vegetables have anthocyanins to thank for their deep color- a pigment rich in vitamins C and E that feed and nourish the brain, and are a powerful antioxidant.
- White carrots may lack pigment, but contain other health-promoting substances called phytochemicals, which can aide in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. (eat up boys!)
