COLOURFUL SUPERFOODS

PEOPLE LIE, COLOURS DON'T

We know food comes in so many different colours. And if you don't, here’s a challenge for you: Next time you’re out doing groceries, try to fill your cart with fruits and vegetables that resemble the rainbow.

Here's why...

Not only are colourful foods insta-worthy (what a time to be alive),  they also contain many nutrients that are beneficial to your health. Phytochemicals (or phytonutrients) are what give fruits, vegetables and superfoods their vibrant colours. It occurs naturally and is produced by the plant to assist with their growth and protection from insects and the sun. For us, specific colours provide particular health and disease-reducing benefits.

So if you find yourself experiencing certain conditions, it might be worth examining the colours in your diet and consider adding a few more. Below is a list of some fruits and vegetables grouped by their colour and some of their health benefits:
