The healthiest foods aren’t usually the ones that tempt our tastebuds or turn our heads.

But two new additions to the supermarket shelves could be about to prove that theory wrong.

A healthier and sweeter variety of broccoli goes on sale today – alongside eye-catching crunchy carrots in colours such as purple, yellow and amber.

The multicoloured carrots have been grown naturally in Norfolk after being cultivated from old varieties which were no longer produced commercially because orange has been the favoured colour for hundreds of years.

　　人們往往覺(jué)得更健康的食品口味要差不少，然而，英國(guó)超市貨架上新出爐的“彩虹蘿卜”卻推翻了這一看法。這種胡蘿卜不僅顏色豐富，從紫到黃一應(yīng)俱全；口味也比傳統(tǒng)胡蘿卜甜很多，讓人樂(lè)于品嘗。

　　彩色胡蘿卜本是英國(guó)諾?？俗匀簧L(zhǎng)的植物，但是由于人們都樂(lè)于選擇橙色的胡蘿卜種植，因此其他顏色的胡蘿卜日漸稀少。不過(guò)彩色的胡蘿卜經(jīng)過(guò)人工培育，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)在英國(guó)各大超市上市，那些不愛(ài)吃橙色胡蘿卜的孩子們從此將會(huì)有新的選擇。
