Why Colorful Food?

Fruits and vegetables are a good source of nutrients and, color of the fruit/vegetable signifies the main nutrient(s). Each color of a fruit and vegetable signifies the presence a particular vitamin and mineral. A single fruit or vegetable does not provide all the nutrients our body requires. Hence it is essential to include a range of colored fruits and vegetables in our diet.

Though most of us are aware of the health benefits, often times, food prepared with some of these super healthy fruits/vegetables is unappealing. So, the best way is to sneak in these fruits and vegetables into food. Food with sneaked in fruits & vegetables is colorful and tempts a fussy eater as well. Second, some of the fruits and vegetables are natural food colors, making the food healthy.
