Eat a rainbow, not just your greens

Eat a rainbow, not just your greens

2nd Sep 2009

We all know greens are good for us, but what about all the other colours of the rainbow? The truth is the antioxidants (the good bits) of fruit and veg are contained in the colour, so if you want to eat a broad spectrum of beneficial nutrients, you need a broad spectrum of colour in your diet.

Red strawberries; yellow courgettes; pink raspberries; green pak choi; orange carrots; purple aubergines; blue blueberries....sing along now...

Try and buy something unusual every time you go shopping – it means you're getting more goodness. Aubergines come in white too you know...
