Eat More Purple Produce

[USAF-Larry]

A good article on the benefits of the nutrients in purple produce.  The list even includes one of my favorite foods, Eggplant!

"Let’s think purple as in purple produce packed with powerful phytochemicals.  The beauty of purple produce goes far beyond their alluring royal purple hue.  Within each one’s attractive outer package lies a nutrient-packed health protective profile.  These purple fruits and veggies will provide a host of nutrients giving us a much needed health-promoting punch."

I love purple cabbage. Yum! Whenever I go to Roti (a Mediterranean fast-casual), I make sure I have some on my falafel wrap.

Alas No Purple Potatoes

@DanielleinDCDid not see purple cabbage either. So I got Purple Califlower!

That's too bad, @WendyB. Just bought a bag of purple potatoes yesterday at Fresh Thyme, and had some this evening for dinner....  Yum, yum...

@USAF-Larry Excellent article. Thanks for sharing with us. I don't think I am adding enough in my diet. Should add more.

I get purple potatoes in my CSA box. That's the only place I ever see them. But I do like them.

Believe it or not I found small purple, gold and red potatoes in a mixed bag at Costco.  They were the type you don't peel so bonus - you don't waste time prepping them and the skins are really good for you.  I rarely shop at Costco but every time I do I am blown away at the quality of the produce and meat.
