Odd how your eyes get drawn to something once your mind is tuned in that direction. I was just reading how research groups are working hard to produce a true purple tomato packed with anthocyanins.

Research has shown how useful anthocyanins is as an antioxidant, but tomatoes also carry large amounts of lycopene which can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer and heart disease.

I’m still not sure just *why* it has to be purple… but if you’re interested in finding out the rest of the story can be read here.

It’s all a rich tapestry :)
