Rainbow carrots (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) are a colorful blend of orange, purple, yellow, white, and red carrot varieties, each with a distinct phytonutrient profile. Orange carrots are rich in beta-carotene and alpha-carotene, purple carrots provide anthocyanins, yellow carrots contain lutein, and red carrots are notable for lycopene. Together, these colorful pigments provide a broader range of carotenoids and polyphenols than any single carrot variety alone. Rainbow carrots also provide fiber, potassium, vitamin K1, and other nutrients. Their naturally sweet flavor and striking colors make them delicious raw or cooked in salads, roasted vegetable dishes, soups, grain bowls, and other meals.
