Blue and Purple vegetables and fruits

The pigment of produce can provide you with information about its nutritional value. 

Blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, plums, raisins, and eggplant have essential nutritional benefits for us.  They help to keep your memory sharp.  Some research has shown that these fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk of certain types of cancers including prostate cancer. 

When making salads, add dried fruit.  It is tasty and will  give you the nutritional benefits.  Remember, some fruit is heavily sprayed with chemicals to prevent pests and mold.  When this fruit is dried, the chemicals are still there.   I would buy organic for the grapes, plums, and raisins.
