Best Answer

The purple coloring is from the pigment anthocyanin. This is a beneficial antioxidant that is contained in most purple pigmented vegetables such as purple broccoli, purple cabbage, and eggplant and in fruits such as currents, raspberries, and grapes. This pigment is not in most green pea varieties and is only present in the hulls of the purple hulled pea and not in the green peas themselves.
