Did you know that color of most vegetables is a clue to the kind(s) & how many nutrients they contain?
Purple vegetables often carry more nutritional “punch.” For example, purple carrots have more powerful antioxidants than the beta carotene in orange carrots. Deep purple beets are more nutritious than yellow or multicolored beets, such as Chiaogia.
Purple sweet potatoes, though sometimes hard to find, are richer in antioxidants than other sweet potatoes.
Intensely purple cauliflower, which existed before the white kind we most often see today, has 2 & 1/2 more times antioxidants than the white. Purple cabbage is very nutritious, and packs 6 times more antioxidants than green cabbage!
