Tomatoes: There are orange tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, tomatoes with green stripes like little watermelons, and of course purple tomatoes.
Potatoes:Like the tomato, the potato is native to the Americas, specifically the Peruvian Andes, and is also a member of the nightshade family.
Peppers:Peppers are members of the nightshade family and so everything about the plant but the fruit is poisonous.
Onions:Onions are notoriously healthy vegetables, and red onions and shallots may be healthier still thanks to their anthocyanins. They are rich in potassium, phosphorus, and vitamins.
Okra:People who eat okra are familiar with the green seed pods that grow from beautiful lemon-yellow flowers with purple throats. There are purple varietals of okra as well.
Eggplant:Eggplants are members of the nightshade family along with potatoes and tomatoes. This means the plant’s leaves, stems and pretty flowers are poisonous thanks to an alkaloid called solanine.
Corn:Purple corn or purple maize is native to South America, and like the potato, it’s found in the Andes. It’s used to make a drink called chicha morada.
Cauliflower:Cauliflower bought during the spring or summer is out-of-season and may have been kept in cold storage.
Carrots:Carotenoids make carrots orange, but anthocyanins make carrots purple. What most people don’t know is that carrots were originally purple and were largely used medicinally.
Cabbage:Red cabbage is rich in potassium and is mostly water. You can eat all you want without having to watch your weight. Varieties of red cabbage include Ruby Ball Improved and Red Empress.
Asparagus:Asparagus has been enjoyed since the time of the ancient Egyptians, but back in the day, the vegetable was tiny and delicate.
Artichokes:The artichoke is actually the bud of a giant thistle, and they come in shades of purple as well as green.
