Well, apparently, it tastes different from a normal carrot.

| Even the flavour of the purple carrots departs from the norm. "The texture of the carrot is completely different, and the flavour is a different, sweet flavour," said Davis, a retired grocer who has visited hundreds of food shops around the world, but has never encountered this variety. |
I would be wondering what is in the ground and maybe not want to eat anything growin that backyard. Other growers with those same seeds didn't end up with purple carrots. In fact, this grower himself didn't end up with all purple carrots.
Carrots Purple
I remembering reading some time ago that carrots came from Afghanistan and the real color of carrots are in fact purple. I made a search to find out a source of that info I had on my mind and I found the following:
"But orange is not the original color of carrots - purple is! The carrot seems to have started in Afghanistan, and what appears to be a purple carrot is featured on Egyptian temple walls dating back more than 4000 years. The purple carrot was the norm in India, Europe, and throughout the Middle East. Then, 400 years ago, in another burst of patriotism, Dutch farmers bred an orange carrot to match their country's color. Today the purple carrot is making a comeback, and green, yellow, red, white, and black varieties have been bred. These natural pigments contain healthy nutrients. The 'traditional" purple variety tastes sweeter, and is especially rich in anthocyanins, which also act as antioxidants."
