Purple Vegetables

Whether it’s purple asparagus, purple cabbage, purple kohlrabi, or purple cauliflower, the colour purple is this season’s nutritional powerhouse. The distinctive hue indicates the presence of potent anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants which can help boost the immune system, maintain health and help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. Evidence suggests that it might even protect brain function as we age.

It’s easy to add a dash of purple to your meal. Shred purple cabbage, kohlrabi and carrots into coleslaw. Serve a purple cauliflower gratin or steamed purple asparagus as a side. Toss sliced purple asparagus into a quick stir-fry, or shave it thinly into a salad.

Organic purple asparagus, purple cabbage, purple kohlrabi, and purple cauliflower are available at SuperNature Forum.
