(Daucus carota). Flavorsome roots that make delicious, lavender-hued juice and desserts! A delicious beauty from the Tessin region of Switzerland. These amethyst-colored carrots were rediscovered in the 1950s in the picturesque Alps village of Bre, where local women grew them for sale at farmers' markets. “Gniff” is translated to “purple” in the local dialect. These express a range of colors, from its purple exterior to its violet-hued interior. This flavorful carrot is traditionally pickled. A similar type was last described by Vilmorin in 1856 as a “sweet, purple carrot with a pale yellow heart.”
