Eating Purple!

We had 2 purple things for dinner this week.

This is the broccoli and cauliflower that I cut in my garden.  The Cauliflower is the purple sprig.  The broccoli is growing well and the cauliflower is a bit slow this year.  The seed package said that it would be fuchsia,  maybe it has to do with our crazy rebel soil.

 These are the mashed purple sweet potatoes that I bought at the chinese market.  They were pretty but dry.  I needed some sour cream to add to them.

What kind of vitamins do you get from eating purple.

Purple is typically a representation of anthocynin present in the flesh or skin. These most commonly act as an antioxidant rather than a vitamin.
