Superberries Mardi Gras Recipes


The symbolic colors of Mardi Gras are purple, green, and gold. Purple is for justice, gold is for power and green is for faith.   At Superberries, the color purple not only represents the color of our “super berry,” the Aronia berry,  but it also represents the powerful antioxidants, anthocyanins which support eye, joint and cardiovascular health, and other health concerns. (Learn more about the power of purple in this blog, 7 Reasons to  Eat Purple.)
