food facts via equinox:

the color: purple/blue
the picks: eggplant, purple cabbage, purple kale, purple cauliflower, purple potatoes, purple carrots, prunes, raisins (also blackberries, plums,  blueberries, concord grapes, figs, purple onions)
the payoff: these deep, dark choices protect cells from damage and stave off cancer, heart disease, and have anti-aging, brain-boosting properties.
