In a class I'm teaching, we're getting the kids to remember the
letter "p" and associating it with purple. I was amazed at how many
foods they were able to name right off the bat that *are* purple:
potatoes, plums, grapes, eggplants, and beets are five that circled
the group at different moments.

What are some other purple foods that are currently available?

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.

The purple beans aren't a new variety, they've been around at least 35
years. Kinda neat though how they turn green in hot water. There are
purple peppers, tomatoes(Black Krim?--not really black), purple basil,
lettuces, rutabaga, turnips have purple shoulders, some verities of corn,
dried beans, onions, Swiss chard, radishes, figs,--can't think of any more
off the top of my head. Then there are dried beans with red and white
sploteches that when cooked turn purple.

Hehe - that was my first thought

I've also seen a purple cauliflower variety in the shops - very strange.
It looks like someone's dyed a cauliflower with food colouring or
something.

What did you buy? What were you able to find? A lot of the items listed
would be difficult to find in the stores in my city--the only way to get
them is to grow them.

Eggplant:
Regular
Italian
Chinese
Japanese
Michu (I have no idea what this is except it's small and you
buy them by the "each."
Indian (there were two types of these; one looked like a
2"-watermelon.)
Kale:
Swiss Chard
Endive
Russian
Belgian
Grapes:
Black
Renier
Blueberries
Basil
Potato
Onions
Red
Italian
Spring
Beets
Beet Greens
Turnip
Radish
Two types; no specific names associated with either.
Blackberries
Lavender
Mustard Greens
Red Cabbage (2 different types)

There are three remaining items I haven't a clue what they are. The
register tape lists them as "misc. groc." They are beautiful
purple, though.

I think you've got the common ones covered. Have you heard
of a book called Eating the Alphabet? Maybe it can give you
other ideas.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments
