I have seen the potatoes. They are often marketed as blue potatoes. I was not aware there was a purple cauliflower. I have seen the one that is canteloupe orange colored and green colored but have never seen the purple one.
Edited to add. You can always grow eggplant in your garden, that is purple.

You can get purplish carrots too! Google Mother Earth News and they might have links or leads to where to get veggie seeds like that. Otherwise, an organic or co-op grocery store, if you have one in your area, might have things like that. We can find those veggies in our local Wegmans or Greenstar. Very tasty...very nutritious! :)

I've grown purple green beans in our garden. They turn green when your cook them. I like to grow the purple ones because they are easy to see to pick them. Last year we planted purple carrots. They taste the same as the regular ones.
