Because an orange cannot be carrot

There's carotine in carrots.......which has an organe color

A carrot is orangier than an orange because it has so much keratin in it. Keratin is what makes our pigment orange.

Not all carrots are orange! There are heirloom varieties that are purple or yellow or white!

i guess because of more iron content.

Probably because the oranges are dyed to make them look better.

Surrealism.....

kerotine

The carotene in carrots makes it orange.

Conspiracy, notice how your greens aren't always green either!!!
