Carrots of Many Colors. Agricultural Research Service researchers have selectively bred carrots with pigments that reflect almost all colors of the rainbow. In their article, Miles and Bachman describe a non-science majors course, The Science of Food and Cooking, in which basic scientific concepts normally discussed in an introductory chemistry course are presented in the context of food and food preparation.
