Eat "Purple" for Good Healh

[Jace]

Scientists believe that eating purple fruit may help "ward off" age-relatd diseases
such as Alzheimer's, heart problems and cancer.
The chances of getting multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease may be reduced
by consuming blueberries, blackberries and plums.

Researchers say one or two of the recommended five daily portions of fruits and vegetables
should be purple fruit.

I love 'em all!

And you?

Yes, I "would think" so. Good one, Marie.

I have some delicious blackberries ... I'll pretend they are purple!

I like blueberries as well as strawberries. Both are very nutrient rich.

Both my dog and I love blueberries. They are very good for dogs, too.

Does this include purple/red onions and cabbages?
I have seen purple carrots and also potatoes!

I, too, give my dog blueberries. I usually give her 2 or 3 of them per day. She loves them more than I do. I also give her some various veggies and she likes them, too.

Yes, it's almost like we're fighting over them, LOL.

Berry season coming up soon at the farmers market. Can't put blackberries in a smoothie though, the seeds get sharp.

Eggplant qualify I wonder? I don't know how to cook it.

I used to bake my eggplant for about an hour @ 350*.

But, nowadays I microwave it anywhere from 5-8 mins. Cut it in half, let it drain and add butter.
Very easy.

Do these figs count as 'purple' since the inside isn't quite purple?!?

I just realized how beautiful a cabbage is inside.
