This dish is especially rich in vitamin A, fiber, and phytonutrients, which are compounds in plants that fight disease, and promote overall health. If you thought there was something special about purple, you were right. The pigments that make plants purple are called Anthocyanins, which research indicates can improve brain health.This recipe is courtesy of Drew Ramsey, MD. for Stonyfield Organic
