@searcher1 your diet sounds wonderful! I will have to pay more attention to deep colors and try the black lentils. I usually have some berries once a day. Frozen fruits and vegetables make it easy to consume more of them. One simple concept has helped me a lot. I eat a big salad for lunch everyday--pre-washed greens topped with chopped vegetables (usually colorful!), raw nuts and seeds. For dinner I'll usually have some kind of vegetables or legumes, including tofu, whole grains, and greens, either raw or cooked. Sauces such as tzatziki, cashew cream, or salsa help. In short, I eat a lot of plants. I usually don't tell people what I eat, though, because I'm sure it sounds pretty far out, LOL So I always have to add that it has evolved from years of learning to appreciate these wonderful healing foods, seeing them listed on credible websites as anti-inflammatory, and finding ways of incorporating them into my daily life. It was so good to hear that you have found the same relief from PsA I have. Kind regards.

The anthocyanins (Greek for blue flower) are very fragile, so when you have frozen fruit or raw veggies on a salad, you are doing great.
The black (beluga) lentils are very tiny, so I soak them for a short time (45 minutes) and gently cook them for about 15 minutes. Some of the anthocyanins go into the broth, so I save the broth and drink it. I buy the Palouse Brand (family owned) in Washington State.
I make a red cabbage slaw with red onion and red wine vinegar that is a standby side with any dish. I have a small food processor that chops them up quickly. Red cabbage and red onion are a great source of anthocyanins and keeping them raw preserves them.
When you have time, research psoriatic arthritis and black soybeans, The research on it is coming from Japan were the black soybeans are part of the culture. Eden's has canned black soybeans that works great to eliminate a flare. Shiloh Farms has dry black soybeans that I make in my instant pot. I use some of it to make black soybean natto, the Japanese fermented beans. (You have met someone that is more "weird" than you are.)
Keep up your good diet and I hope you will feel great. I am feeling much better now than I did decades back. I think that is progress. Thanks be to God.
