Eat the Rainbow

Colorful foods contain more nutrients. It’s true. The more colorful things you eat, the more vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients you will get. Our garden is full of color this year, but many of our vegetables are not the standard colors that you think of for those foods. This year our string beans are purple and yellow, our carrots are red on the outside and orange in the center, our tomatoes are purple, orange, and red, and our cucumbers are a lemony yellow variety. So many colors to help you eat the rainbow!
