I try to go to the farmer’s market as often as I can and while I’m there I stick to a general rule: BUY PURPLE. First, I walk through the market on a scouting mission and then I go back for a second loop to buy the purple variety of everything on my list.
Purple vegetables contain ANTHOCYANINS which are the most potent type of phytonutrients. They have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects that have been shown reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. So why would you eat regular vegetables when there are purple varieties available to help you live longer?
I usually shop at the Union Square Farmer’s Market in NYC. Hope to see you there!
