The Big Carrot won't tell you this but carrots are naturally grayish. Farmers feed them a substance called astaxanthin to give them the deep orange color that is valued by consumers.
I've grown carrots. They aren't gray. I guess they could amend the soil to make them a little more orange. But having seen both it isn't by much.
Yeah, farmers feeding plants substances is weird. Did you know they add substances like uria and ammonia to make pumpkins larger. In fact they use that shit everywhere. They also use chemicals that straight up turn the soil alkaline.
I think this was a joke. (the comment you replied to).
