Blue/Purple
Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail and served as your banner; your awnings were of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah.
Ezekiel 27:7
What could be a more perfect antidote to stress than lying on a sandy white beach, a gentle breeze blowing as you fall asleep listening to the sound of waves lapping the shore and watching the azure sky melting into the glistening blue sea... Bliss!
Blue and purples not only add tranquil and rich colours to your meal, they also reduce stress. Blue/Purple veggies and fruit contain phytochemicals such as anthocyanins and phenolics, both of which are powerful antioxidants that relieve the body from the oxidative stress of free radicals.
- Anthocyanins & Phenolics: These powerful antioxidants are being studied for their potential to reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers and slowing down the aging process.

| Blackberries |
Blueberries |
Cabbage (Purple) |
| Eggplant |
