I wish they tasted as different as they look, but they're pretty much like standard carrots, just generally less sweet and more carrot-y. I've also grown other varieties that were intensely sweet, but not as fantastical looking.

I'm just imagining small carrot cakes, each one made with one of these, with different pops of color. Awesome stuff

That would be fun! These I added to jeweled rice, where extra color is totally on theme.
