Anthocyanins

Powerful antioxidants, providing a broad range of health benefits. These natural plant pigments range from red to purple to blue. Anthocyanins occur in all tissues of higher plants, including roots, leaves, stems and fruits, but dominate in very colorful parts. Related phytochemicals include anthoxanthins, which are clear, white to yellow substances occurring in plants, and anthocyanidins from which anthocyanins are derived.
