February  3, 2017

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.
