Purple Food Power - Nutrition Nuggets 83
Most people have heard about 'eating the colour of the rainbow' and this sounds colourful, pretty, and interesting, but why? Plant foods have phytochemicals (plant chemicals) that offer humans beneficial antioxidants and polyphenols.
It's important to include greens (leafy greens) and orange foods daily, but purple is a colour that is often ignored when it comes to the rainbow of vegetables and fruits. Purple and blues offer powerful antioxidants that can help scavenge free radicals and help out our cells' defenses.
Today, we discuss the purple plant food category, what they are, why they are important for health, and how to incorporate them into meals and snacks to get their benefits.
This should prompt you to include more purple polyphenols into your week!
