If you buy out of season, you HAVE to be buying stuff that's flown a long way. I never buy out of season. I don't eat tomatoes I have not grown.

The problem with local organic is that people expect the fruit and veg to be perfect and unblemished and therefore most of it goes in the bin. Driving the price up in the process.
Yes, that is a part of the whole problem, real fruit and veg can be all sorts of shapes. I personally love growing white carrots, black tomatoes, etc.

I read somewhere that carrots were not naturally orange. That the plant dudes (would that be botanists) in the Netherlands turned them orange for ... William of Orange. I'm not sure if that is a fairy tale or not. But Wiki-whats-it says that carrots were originally yellow and red. And who would have though that Queen Anne's lace is really a carrot!! Wild Carrots[^]

We have purple carrots too, which are orange in the middle. I've wondered if that's their original color. They all taste good, there's no real taste difference I can see between them, I just like a variety of colors on the plate. Silverbeet is the same.
