Speaking of rainbows (a la yesterday’s April 3rd TFG calendar post), this is a snapshot I took of rainbow carrots i got from the Park Slope Food Coop back in the day (circa 2012).

In the years since they’ve become much more prominent not only at farmer’s markets but also featured as festive looking foodstuffs at fancy events. What fuels food ‘fashions ‘ and trends have always intrigued me…
