Today is National Find A Rainbow Day!
Did you know that you should try to #eattherainbow everyday?!
The different colours in our foods can help identify different nutrients!
Red: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants
Orange: contain beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant. They can also contain Vitamin C and Lutein
Yellow: Contain potassium and Vitamin C, bromelian and others!
Green: dark green leafy vegetables are a great source of magnesium, folate, and Vitamin K
Blue: contain anthocyanins - a powerful flavonoid that helps act as an antioxidant in our system
These are only scratching the surface of the nutrients available when you eat the rainbow
