Blue/Purple

Blue/purple fruits and vegetables are colored by natural plant pigments called "anthocyanins." Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that protect cells from damage. They may help reduce risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease. Anthocyanins were found to have the strongest anti-inflammatory effect of any flavonoid tested.

Examples of the blue/purple group: Grapes, Blackberries, Blueberries, Eggplant, Figs, Plums, Prunes.

White

White fruits and vegetables are colored by pigments called "anthoxanthins." They may contain health-promoting chemicals such as allicin, a famous chemical in Onions, which may help lower cholesterol and blood pressure and may help reduce risk of stomach cancer and heart disease. Banana and potatoes from the white group are also a good source of Potassium.

Some examples of the white group include: Bananas Turnips, Cauliflower, Garlic, Ginger, Jicama, Mushrooms, Onions, Potatoes.
