I do know 'purple' veggies tend to bleed there color when cooked so I'd imagine they'd do the same when fermenting, but other than that, I don't know that it would make the taste much different.

Mine went 7 weeks, if I remember correctly, and it was crisp and delicious! We did not get mold & we used a stoneware dish and some salt-filled mason jars for weight. We used a bleached out 5 gallon paint bucket (the unused, clean kind you can buy), and it was in the corner of my dining room. <br /><br />I froze the results, and they Mrs. Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07626026331824645859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316897386594749432.post-41904781656825352252011-10-24T18:13:19.278-04:002011-10-24T18:13:19.278-04:00Wow yours looks great.
