Yes, the baby carrots are crunch, and be eaten as salad or appetizers with other vegetables.
I think the taste is no different between a rainbow baby carrot and other normal orange baby carrots.
Both standard carrots and rainbow baby carrots are healthy. They contain vitamin A, beta and alpha carotene pigments.
These pigments (beta and alpha carotene) may promote body to produce vitamin A. As we know this vitamin is good for our eyes.
Some people love purple baby carrots. In fact purple carrots contain:
- twice of beta and alpha carotene pigments compared to orange carrots.
- antioxidant, namely anthocyanins
