The anthocyanins behind the blue-purple color are polyphenol pigments, studied for their possible role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by free radicals. Vitamin E is also a nutrient involved in protecting the fats in cell membranes from oxidation.
Its strength is delivering fiber plus antioxidant-related pigments and vitamins together in one fruit.
