In Viking times, carrots were primarily purple or yellow rather than the orange variety we commonly see today. The orange carrot was developed later in the 17th century in the Netherlands. The earlier colors were cultivated because they were naturally occurring and suited to the growing conditions of the time, with purple carrots often having a sweeter taste and higher antioxidant levels.
