Eating the Rainbow means having a variety of colors on your plate, since each color represents different nutrients and vitamins that you are providing to your body. Fruits and Vegetables are also great source of fiber and phytochemicals (Anthocyanins, carotenoids, lycopene, lutein and phenolics) responsible for their beautiful colors and with huge benefits to our health that includes their antioxidant properties.
