  • - Hey guys, It's Inga.

  • So, for the next 24 hours, I will only be eating

  • foods that the color purple.

  • A lot of people have been doing this on YouTube,

  • it's a very popular format

  • that I also wanted to try for myself,

  • to not just experiment,

  • it's also just a cool way for you guys

  • to find out what there is out there

  • that's edible and is purple.

  • So, I picked purple because I wanted a little bit

  • of a challenge, but not so much that I'd be starving myself.

  • I'm actually going to try and stay away

  • from anything that's artificially colored.

  • Has to be naturally colored purple.

  • Which kind of just makes my job harder

  • than it already is, so--

  • My next step is to go to the grocery store

  • and see what we can find for breakfast,

  • lunch, and dinner that is purple.

  • All right, let's go!

  • These are rainbow carrots.

  • They have purple ones, so I'm gonna keep these.

  • And of course, there's grapes.

  • I feel like figs might be purple.

  • Eggplants.

  • Purple.

  • Red onions.

  • Purple cabbage.

  • They're going in here too.

  • Blueberries.

  • Savory foods, I think these are the first.

  • Potato chips.

  • This is black, but it's actually purple.

  • Prune juice, that should be purple, right?

  • It's brown. (laughs)

  • (beeps)

  • This looks pretty purple to me,

  • even though it says blue.

  • There's this huge bag of just

  • different kinds of purple things.

  • Now to plan out my meals for tomorrow.

  • I made it back home with my giant bag of groceries!

  • I also changed into a purple shirt.

  • I'm just going to take everything out now

  • to see what I have.

  • Just to show you guys what we're working with.

  • This is everything I bought from the store.

  • I also have purple noodles.

  • I think are made with, like, purple yam.

  • And then I also have this indigo punch tea.

  • This has butterfly pea flower in it.

  • If we add, like, lemon juice or lime juice

  • it'll become purple,

  • so I so thought that would be a good drink.

  • I think we have a good balance

  • of protein, fruits, vegetables, and carbs.

  • Well, I haven't really planned out my meals yet.

  • But yeah, so we have a lot of food here

  • and let's start it off with breakfast.

  • This is my kitchen.

  • Because it's New York City, it's pretty small.

  • I'm gonna try to make this work.

  • I am picking out all of the fruits that I bought.

  • Blueberries, grapes, plums, and figs.

  • And we also already have this blue machine smoothie

  • that's actually purple,

  • but I figured I could just make my own.

  • So, smoothie building time.

  • It's like, different shades of purple.

  • Here's our blender.

  • Dump these all in.

  • Gonna pour some of this smoothie in there too.

  • Look at that purple!

  • Just to amp it up, I have my blueberry chia jam.

  • Super purple.

  • And now to blitz it.

  • (blender grinding)

  • What do you guys think?

  • Is this purple?

  • Under this light, it looks a little bit more purple.

  • So I think is now drinkable.

  • And I cut some food up.

  • This is what we have, you guys!

  • So we have the plums on top,

  • we have the grapes,

  • fig is, like, kind of wrinkly here.

  • That looks pretty purple, right?

  • I'm just gonna go ahead and try this now.

  • To me, it really just looks like

  • a normal, like, blueberry smoothie bowl, so--

  • Hmm.

  • I could you really could make a smoothie bowl

  • out of purely purple foods.

  • I'll just be here finishing this.

  • And then I'll see you guys at work for lunch!

  • We have catered lunch today.

  • I'm gonna try and see if we can find purple foods, if--

  • That was purple hair.

  • If I can't find any purple foods,

  • I'm gonna have to cook my own, so,

  • let's see if we can find some.

  • Salad, I don't see any, that's red.

  • There's no purple.

  • So, because we couldn't find anything out there,

  • I am just going to try and make my own lunch.

  • Good thing I brought some stuff with me.

  • This is what I have.

  • The red onions, carrots,

  • they didn't really have that many purple carrots,

  • but I tried to pick some out.

  • And then I have the octopus.

  • I know this is kind of intimidating, maybe,

  • for people who haven't had it before.

  • But it's actually really good.

  • And then we have the purple yam noodles.

  • A nice light purple, I would say.

  • I didn't have a sauce,

  • but because it came into the Tasty space,

  • I actually found this red wine sauce

  • that Tasty producer Alvin was making.

  • That is actually purple!

  • So, I guess we have a sauce now.

  • We're just gonna toss these in there and let it cook.

  • And while that's cooking, I'm just going to cut

  • some of this onion and the carrots up.

  • Noodles are now cooked.

  • Kind of a pinkish purple.

  • I have the onions cut up

  • and the carrots, and we have the octopus.

  • We toss it into the pan.

  • The purple carrots actually end up having, like,

  • orange bits in them.

  • I think it's smelling pretty good so far.

  • But the onions, I feel like,

  • just have a stronger flavor than yellow or white onions.

  • The octopus is actually already cooked,

  • I just figured we'd give it a little more flavor

  • and add the noodles in.

  • This is looking really purple.

  • I don't really know what I was expecting,

  • but this is pretty freaking awesome.

  • It's so purple!

  • More onions and carrots.

  • That's our very purple looking dish.

  • This actually turned out to look a lot better

  • than I thought it was going to.

  • Super excited to taste this,

  • but before that, a purple drink.

  • So this is butterfly pea flower,

  • it's a flower that just turns liquid

  • into this natural blue color.

  • (clinking)

  • Add my hot water.

  • Can you see the color?

  • I don't even need to add lemon

  • because I think this tea already has some raspberry

  • and apple bits in it.

  • I guess I already have a purple drink!

  • (gasps)

  • Purple tea, purple pasta.

  • It smells really good,

  • so hopefully that means it actually is really good.

  • So pumped!

  • Wow.

  • I don't think I've ever had things

  • that are this vividly colored,

  • that isn't, like, you know, artificial.

  • Wow, that is actually,

  • that's actually really good.

  • I think it's because the sauce is really good.

  • I can't believe we were actually able to make this work.

  • Gotta try this tea too.

  • (relaxing guitar music)

  • Mmm.

  • Fruity.

  • I have to show you guys how pretty the purple actually is.

  • Look at this color!

  • And I didn't even have to add anything else to it.

  • This turned out so good.

  • Now I feel a little more confident about dinner.

  • I gotta get a second taste tester.

  • Ta-da! - Whoaaa!

  • It's so purple!

  • - [Inga] It was with your red wine sauce.

  • If it looks purple, then that means I did it right.

  • It's good, right? - Mmm!

  • - Right? - My sauce is really good!

  • - Oh my God, okay.

  • I'm about to take a snack break

  • to eat my chips.

  • I have my tea here,

  • but Ashley is giving me really weird looks.

  • - I don't get it, but I support you always.

  • - [Inga] It's just a butterfly pea tea.

  • - That's not food, right?

  • - [Inga] No, it's not.

  • It's natural.

  • (sloshing)

  • - What is in your hand?

  • (crunching)

  • - What is this face?

  • I like 'em.

  • It's good.

  • It's a a little thicker and very purple.

  • Like my shirt!

  • (pleasant elevator music)

  • I'm on my way back home,

  • it's still light outside,

  • but I'm really hungry.

  • We're just gonna see what we can make

  • with the food we bought.

  • We have the purple cabbage, eggplant,

  • this is the leftover onion,

  • red onion from lunch.

  • This is really cool, this is purple shiso leaf,

  • so I got them from an event I went to earlier,

  • they're green on the other side,

  • but this side is purple.

  • There's also the squid.

  • Pretty purple looking.

  • I also just love squid,

  • so this worked out perfectly for me.

  • Can you guys see how the water is actually purple?

  • Here's all the vegetables I have,

  • just going to stir fry it now.

  • (sizzling)

  • I'm also just snacking on this while I'm waiting.

  • I'm a big sweet potato person normally,

  • so I think that's why I'm really loving this.

  • I feel healthier, too, while I'm eating this.

  • Even though it's probably all just in my head.

  • There's a lot of on this.

  • It looks healthier than a normal potato chip.

  • You can't forget the black rice.

  • I know it says black,

  • it actually is purple.

  • I also just eat this a lot, normally.

  • This is the one I have at home.

  • This is what just the black rice looks like.

  • You could cook this as is too,

  • but it would just be a little too coarse.

  • When you mix it with the white rice,

  • it looks like this.

  • Just gonna pop that in the microwave.

  • (slams)

  • This is what it kind of looks like now.

  • Thinking of putting it in this onigiri mold I have.

  • (pleasant guitar music)

  • Add these squid rings.

  • They're already cooked, so,

  • this is my purple dinner.

  • I know there's a lot of white here.

  • This is part is purple.

  • As probably as purple as it gets

  • without artificial dyes.

  • Dinner is served!

  • Yeah, I don't really know what I made,

  • but I think this looks pretty purple.

  • And then I also had some of the tea leftover from earlier.

  • I just made that into an iced version.

  • I don't normally cook with eggplant.

  • This, like, turned out kind of brown.

  • This is a pretty purple mouthful.

  • Here's a squid, I should show you guys the purple side.

  • Even though there's no sauce to go with it,

  • I still love it.

  • I love how chewy it is.

  • I just that it's a purple food

  • because I get to eat it on this challenge.

  • I think the fact that I am also really hungry

  • probably also makes this really good.

  • Wrap this in--

  • Ta-da!

  • Mmhmm!

  • The shiso flavor is super strong.

  • Mmm.

  • This is really good!

  • I've always loved adding black rice to white rice.

  • I kind of like the extra, like, texture.

  • (gulps)

  • I am so satisfied right now.

  • Think I love the color purple even more now.

  • This video is basically just me eating for 24 hours.

  • Do I have dessert?

  • Oh my God.

  • So I do actually have a purple dessert,

  • even though I don't think

  • there's gonna be stomach space for it.

  • But maybe in, like, I don't know, two hours?

  • Three?

  • So, it was my birthday last week,

  • and two of my friends bought me

  • this amazing ube cake that I actually already ate some of.

  • Ube's also just like a naturally like

  • really beautiful purple color.

  • This cake is like super vibrant.

  • Oh my gosh, it's just gonna fall right over,

  • but this is what it looks like!

  • Oh, it's so soft!

  • Can we get a perfect slice?

  • Yes!

  • Okay guys, I gotta let you guys see what this looks like!

  • Ta-da!

  • Look at that purple!

  • It has some cream in the middle,

  • but otherwise, I think this is probably

  • the most purple of purple desserts.

  • Ooh!

  • This is a huge bite!

  • Oh my God.

  • I don't normally look for ube,

  • but ube flavor in this is, like, perfect.

  • Almost like a coconutty taste.

  • (warm guitar music)

  • Oh, I can't stop eating this cake!

  • So, this challenge actually turned out to be really fun.

  • And I think there was definitely more things

  • than I expected that were actually purple.

  • Let me know what color I should try to eat for 24 hours.

  • I'll be here finishing this cake.

  • (warm guitar music)

- Hey guys, It's Inga.
