Eggplants are purple due to a flavonoid known as nasunin in its skin. This is a potent antioxidant. Not all eggplants are purple, as they can be other colors such as white, green and yellow. However, purple is the popular variety perhaps due to the perceived benefits of nasunin.
Eggplants can be different shades of purple depending on factors such as variety and ripeness. In many cases, they are a very dark purple that verges on black.
