- Purple Potatoes - Purple Majesty, Purple Viking, and Purple Peruvian. Substituting purple potatoes for white or yellow potatoes can also give you some anti-inflammatory benefits.
Purple potatoes can also be heart healthy. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that they can help lower blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Are purple potatoes healthy?
Purple Sweet Potatoes - A Spectacularly Healthy Choice
Vibrant on the inside, purple potatoes are a dietary staple food in Okinawa- an island off the coast of Japan that is a blue zone (one of the regions where people live the longest and healthiest lives).
Okinawans’ long lives are credited primarily to their whole-foods, plant-based diet. But purple sweet potatoes are part of what makes them so healthy. In fact, traditionally, Okinawans derived up to 60% of their total calories from sweet potatoes.
Purple sweet potatoes have a similar taste to orange sweet potatoes, but they’re a bit less sweet. They have a lower glycemic rating, which is particularly good for diabetics and pre-diabetics.
And here’s a cool fact: Food chemists are using purple potatoes as a natural food dye and an alternative to toxic, synthetic food dyes.
How to Find Purple Foods
Look for purple vegetables at grocery stores, natural foods stores, and your local farmers market.
In addition to the veggies above, you might see others, like purple spinach, purple artichoke, and purple kohlrabi - or even purple snow peas.
But if you want to avoid GMOs, consider that some purple tomatoes are genetically modified. (However, not all purple tomatoes are GMO. For example, one type, Indigo Rose tomatoes, are naturally bred to be purple. So they aren’t genetically modified.)
To avoid purple GMO tomatoes, be sure to choose organic or organic seeds if you want to grow them - (although many growers aren’t impressed with growing the Indigo Rose tomatoes).
And if you have a hard time finding purple foods, don’t panic.
Many of the purple vegetables on this list have non-purple counterparts that also offer wonderful health benefits. If you only have veggies of other colors, you can still make recipes that call for the blue-violet varieties.
Even without that pop of purple, you’ll end up with a delicious, healthy, plant-powered dish. Eating more veggies of any color is always a win!
More Reason to Eat Them - Purple Vegetables Support Biodiversity
Eating purple also supports biodiversity.
Industrial agriculture tends to favor single varieties of vegetables like orange carrots, russet potatoes, or white cauliflower. Vegetables are bred for uniformity using monocropping, rather than for diversity.
This practice puts our food security at risk. A particular pest or disease could come along that wipes out a particular variety. And if that variety is all there is, it could have a damaging impact on food supplies.
Seed diversity contributes to a more resilient food system for all.
Purple Power!
Purple isn’t only a color for royalty. Now you can see why everyone can benefit from eating more purple foods.
If you love purple as much as I do - or you just want to liven up your plate - how will you add more purple foods to your meals?
