I'm still keeping my fingers crossed with this one because there's no guarantee that the colour will show up again in future generations, and I only have five seeds which are truly purple! <BR/><BR/>But it would be really good if I could keep it going because the purple pigment is anthocyanin, a wonderful antioxidant, so it would have health benefits as well as novelty value.
