It's just the skin that is a reddish-purple color. The inside is either orange or yellow. It seems the larger carrots are more yellow inside. As for the flavor, these have a slight "bite" to them that you won't find in regular grocery-store carrots. But my favorite thing about them? They're just plain gorgeous.

Purple Carrots
One of our favorites in the garden this year has been these purple carrots. The variety is "dragon".
The kids have loved digging them up. Last week when friends came over the kids stayed busy digging up and snacking on carrots.
