Yeah, that's right—there's more than just potatoes at the farmers market right now (yeah, that's also right: There's a good chance your market is still boogying in the winter.)
In our weekend shopping, we found all these purple (and purple adjacent) foods: beets, carrots, rutabaga, kohlrabi, radishes, turnips, Swiss chard, kale, cabbage, radicchio, red onions, shallots, blood oranges, pomegranates, purple potatoes, and purple yams.
Here's how to eat the rainbow's deepest, most vibrant color all winter long:
Roots, so many roots
Blue potatoes, purple yams, beets, purple carrots, rutabaga, kohlrabi, radishes, and turnips.
