When you think about purple foods there’s probably a list of individual foods, or fruits & veggies that come to mind, such as: 

  • Red Grapes 
  • Elderberries 
  • Plums
  • Prunes
  • Raisins
  • Red cabbage
  • Eggplant
  • Purple carrots
  • Purple potatoes
  • Purple sweet potatoes
  • Beets
  • Purple cauliflower
  • Purple kale
  • Red onions
  • And so many more!

Sometimes these foods will turn a recipe purple and other times it’ll completely change color depending on what other foods it’s mixed with, especially when it comes to smoothies.

So, let me share some of my favorite naturally purple colored foods below.

Use these for a special occasion or when teaching kids about colors, for themed food nights, or to simply enjoy!
