      Problem with black rice is that 90 percent of the anthocyanins in black rice is destroyed while cooking because anthocyanins are very heat sensitive and also what is not destroyed is trapped within the non soluble fiber. So very very little anthocyanin is actually absorbed.

    I already had a plan to graft other nightshades onto potato stalks in containers, but I wasn't sure what I was goito do with all the potatoes because I can't have too much of them until I reach 'fighting weight' due to the starch content. But these sound like their other nutrients would offset the starch factor. (I'm on the MTHF-R gene mutation diet restrictions) I even just found some mutli colored sweet pepper seeds that have purple peppers along with the purple potato seeds! I could have a whole theme going and have to make up a new alliterative tongue twister! Too badd egg plants don't have a P name!

    It just so happens that I have been eating a lot of purple potatoes lately (unfortunately, as far as the varieties we grew last year are concerned, the purple ones had the shortest storage time, so I'm eating up a bunch of sprouting potatoes). They are very, very purple and I've been enjoying them! Unfortunately, I don't know what their variety is because we got one of the mixed "mystery boxes" from the company. It cost less, but we generally don't know what they are. Alas.
    My husband's favourite is the Purple Viking. It is actually only purple-skinned, so it's not as good as the ones you're talking about, but it is an excellent mashing potato. :)

You can eat a plant-based diet without going high-carb and it will be even healthier than the meat-based diet.
