Is wine a food? Blackberries, they really are purple, mulberries are
kinda magenta I think-not the white ones tho. Howsa about redleaf
lettuce. Might look purple... And I believe there is a sort of pinto
kind of bean with purple splotches. There are purple green beans too (a
new variety?), they turn green when you cook them tho. I pickled up a
passle of purplish okra this year. Turned the pickle liquid a red color.
