PURPLE GOES VIRAL!!!!!!Credit: Brian Hartshorn/ Alamy stock photo THAT’S RIGHT!! PURPLE IS THE NEW VEGETABLE. Research show that the darker the vegetable the more antioxidants and nutrients it has. So skip the white and go purple tonight. That goes for asparagus and sweet potatoes too. OH YEAH! Don’t forget the black rice. Even healthier than brown. Your kids may even think it is cool. Pair it with a good Syrah and party on.
