 I wanted to do something with sliced star fruit and a pomegranate, but my usual exotic produce source had neither. After a bit of looking around, a bunch of baby carrots caught my eye. Hoping this isn't too out there for voters, even if it is an abstract challenge.

are you aware of a vegetable called 'salsify'? It's an old variant of the carrot and is currently very rare. It's something similar to the equivalent of a 'purple potato' - rich in Iodine - within the carrot family.

Very hard to find.

The name 'The Blue Carrot' which is often associated with French cuisine refers to this vegetable.

sorry but the coloring on this is not at all appealing, nor is there much in the composition
