Color Matters When it Comes to Fruits and Vegetables
When it comes to fruits and vegetables, color is one of the most important things to determine how healthful the product is. We recently read a study that shows that fruits with darker colors offer more nutritional values. For example, if you eat a purple plum that’s not so purple in color, then you won’t get as much of the vitamin C or other nutrients if you ate a darker colored one. In addition, we also found out that different colors means different nutrients. Red, purple, orange, yellow–they all suggest the fruit or vegetable contains a different nutrient. Therefore, we suggest that you should eat not only your daily suggested amount of fruits and vegetables, but eat a different variety of each.
