The thinnings I pulled from my purple haze carrot tub are orange - is it normal for immature purple haze carrots (just under 1 cm in diameter) to be orange instead of purple?

I grew purple carrots once (sorry, I can't remember the variety). Some of the thinnings were quite orange. Even some of the full sized carrots had occasional patches of orange.Comment

Thanks all. I noticed a couple of very tiny patches of purple on two thinnings today - I guess it builds up as the root matures.Comment
