I’m reading an interesting book call The Green Foods Bible by David Sandoval. I learned something that I never knew. There are foods that are considered to be green that aren’t actually the color green. Here’s a section directly out of his book.:

“Green” Foods That Aren’t Actually Green

Here’s some trivia about red cabbage: Although it’s a deep purple color, it’s really and truly a green food-because the purple pigments that give it its beautiful hue are photosynthetic pigments. Chlorophyll usually shows up as green, but it doesn’t always show up that way. The flesh of a red cabbage is an excellent source of chlorophyll.

The same goes for watermelon. The ruby-red, sweet flesh of that melon you cut open on a hot August afternoon is loaded with chlorophyll.
