I bought tie dye carrots at the farmers market...anyone else cook these?

Hey terrier,

They cook and taste like carrots. The color fades, but remains the same.

Bummer...they look so beautiful now!

The same thing happened to me with chiogga (spelling) beets - the ones striped red & white inside.

By the time they were cooked, the color had faded the stripes were blurred!

The purple beans turn green, too.

Not likely. I bought some at Trader Joe's, and they don't sell any GMO products.

Are they really called tie-dye carrots? I've never heard of those....wish you could post a pic! I learn something new every day!

Terrier - are they the rainbow carrots? I haven't heard of tie-dye carrots but who knows. Rainbow carrots cook the same, as HonnyBrown said the colors fade but remain.

Or - roast them on a cookie sheet with a little olive oil & kosher salt.
