I love the great variety of fruits and vegetables offered here in Quebec! Apparently there are over 60 varieties of carrots native to North America, but we normally only find the orange kind at the grocery store. I guess it's not as profitable for farmers to grow these kinds of things because people probably find them "weird", or think they're genetically modified. Ironically, a lot of the food we think is "normal" is probably genetically modified.

My grandpa used to grow all kinds of vegetables and I remember some of his carrots being purple. He used to tell me purple carrots were sunburnt. I think he was lying to me...
