Actually, that's not even close to a peck (but they are verifiably purple, and taste that way too).
From Wikipedia:
A peck is an imperial and United States customary unit of dry volume,[1] equivalent to 2 dry gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints.…Two pecks make a kenning (obsolete), and four pecks make a bushel.
My Grandmother used to say you've got to eat a peck of dirt before you die. Which is a lot of dirt. And excused a lot of childhood hygienic sins on all our parts.
