Why is a carrot more orange than an orange? - Bit weird I know!

It must be the amount of beta-carotene in carrots. Click here for more info: http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/carotene/beta-carotene_home.h tml

Only a couple of hundred years ago, all carrots were purple. Still are, I believe, in some parts of the world. You can also get white ones.
