We all know that we should be eating the color of the rainbow.
But... Why?
Every single color in the plant has its unique micro nutrient called phytochemical. Phyto comes from Greek word (φυτόν) meaning 'plant' and these are the natural components produced by plants, generally to help them resist fungi, bacteria and plant virus infections, and also consumption by insects and other animals. Some phytochemicals have been used as poisons and others as traditional medicine. It is that powerful.
These brightly colored veggies not only have the powerful health benefits but can also add color, fun and flavors to your table!
