Purple/Blue color of foods


Hi, do you adapt to my concept of food colors? Blue/purple is a common color for us but more to fruits. The natural plant pigment found is named "anthocyanidins". It is not only act as powerful antioxidant, but also anti-inflammatory and antimutagenic effects that protect cells from damage. The main benefits are anthocyanidins reduces the risk of stroke and heart disease. Foods that relate are blueberries, grapes, raisins, plums, eggplant and prunes. An additional information, Cranberries contain proanthocyanadins, which prevents bacteria like E-coli from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract. You should mark as your favorite fruit but too bad it is only available in northern countries.

蓝/紫色多数是水果的颜色。这类水果的天然植物色素,被称为“花青素”。它不仅是作为强大的抗氧化剂,也有抗炎作用,保护细胞免受损害。花青素的主要好处是减少中风和心脏病的风险。食物如蓝莓,葡萄,葡萄干,李子,茄子。另外,小红莓含有原花青素,防止影响尿道的细菌。
