These carrots are gnarly, dude!

When I buy carrots at the supermarket, they are usually uniform, straight, and orange. When I grow carrots at home, they very often are twisted, uneven, and forked. The forking and twisting varies depending on which variety of carrot I grow, but it seems to be most common in the few deep purple varieties of carrots I've grown. Such gnarly carrots rarely make it to supermarkets in North America intact. They are usually cut into baby carrot fingers, made into juice, used as animal feed, or discarded altogether.
