Purple carrots

I feel so betrayed. All my life I thought carrots were just orange. Now, I can handle the fact that there are other colors. Most foods come in other colors. Red peppers for example. Everyone is familiar with the standard red bell pepper, but there happens to be yellow and orange. That's cool. But the standard is the red one, right?

I've been talking to other people and apparently I am the last to know this! At http://www.carrotsmuseum.com/ I found out that he orange carrots came about from mutations of the yellow carrots.
"Carrots originated in present day Afghanistan about 5000 years ago, probably originally as a purple or yellow root. Nature then took a hand and produced mutants and natural hybrids, crossing both with cultivated and wild varieties. It is considered that purple carrots were then taken westwards where it is thought yellow mutants and wild forms crossed to produce orange. Finally some motivated Dutch growers took these mutant orange carrots under their horticultural wings and developed them to be sweeter and more practical."
So, I just had to buy some seeds and see this for myslf. I choose the Purple Dragon Carrot.
One website said "The Purple Dragon Carrot is truly a piece of natural art. It is absolutely unique with its deep reddish-purple exterior with an amazing contrasting orange-yellow interior. With a flavor that is described as “glorious”, “sweet and almost spicy”
