I bought a purple cabbage yesterday and went back to cook. Why does the purple cabbage turn blue when it is cooked?

    Purple vegetables, such as purple cabbage, tend to turn blue during cooking. This is because the natural anthocyanins in purple cabbage are blue-purple under neutral conditions, but when cooked it is alkaline, so it turns blue.
