Grower Rick Pedersen shows off the orange cauliflower he harvested last fall on his farm in Seneca Castle, N.Y., in this 2003 photo. The hybrid, first discovered 30 years ago in a marsh in Canada, is headed for store shelves this year. It has 25 times more Vitamin A than its pale counterpart.

I duno about anyone else, but for some reason... this is odd. Sure I love the fact that they are able to get all the stuff you need in one frui or vegitable, but at the same time, isn't it a tab bit weird that there are going to be produce the color of the rainbow when we shop? I can see it now, "mommy, don't get the orange carrots, the purple ones taste better"

/shivers for some unknow reason

stay safe everyone,

starts to make you wonder what's "natural" anymore... ;)

technically this falls under natural if it is a naturally grown hybrid. people have been doing this kind of thing for centuries. they take the stems or roots of two plants, cut them, and stick them together. if you keep doing this with every generation you get better and better effects.
