June is National Fresh Fruit & Vegetables Month so let’s celebrate Mother Nature’s rainbow colored abundance!<\/p>\n

Eat More Fruits and Vegetables!<\/h2>\n

When it comes to eating fruit and veg, one of the most important things to remember\u2014other than doing your damndest to eat seasonally and, if possible, locally\u2014is to eat a wide variety of colors!<\/p>\n

Why is this so important? The difference in color between one fruit and veg to the next is not random. The color of a given fruit and veg gives you a clue to what nutrients the fruit or veg contains.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHow does it work? <\/span>Colorful<\/span>\u00a0fruit and veggies contain phytochemicals, which work synergistically to help your body better absorb vitamins, minerals and fiber.<\/p>\n

Red fruits and veg: tomato; raspberries; guava, watermelon; red cabbage; cranberries; pomegranate; strawberries; red pears; blood oranges; red cabbages; red potatoes; red onions; rhubarb; red grapefruit; radish; radicchio; kidney beans; cherries; strawberries and beets boosts your body with vitamin C and folate. Red means rich in\u00a0antioxidants lycopene and anthocyanins.<\/p>\n

Orange and yellow fruits and veg: carrots; pumpkin; kabocha squash, yellow pepper; apricots and butternut squash are loaded with\u00a0beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A, which we all know is great for your eyes as well as your skin, teeth and bone health.
\nGreen fruits and veg: spinach; kale; avocado; green apples; green grapes; kiwi; broccoli; celery; limes; artichoke; cucumber; peas; string beans; Swiss chard; dandelion; lettuce; Bok Choy and Brussels Sprouts are packed with vitamins K, C, E and are rich in antioxidants as well as the phytonutrients lutein and zeaxanthi.<\/p>\n

Purple and blue veg: eggplant; blueberries; blackberries; purple cabbage; purple carrots; purple peppers; purple potatoes; plums; purple grapes and purple asparagus have heart-healthy antioxidants called anthocyanins, which are natural plant pigments with powerful antioxidant properties. They also contain flavonoids and ellagic acid, which help prevent cancer.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget that white is also a color. White veggies: fennel; cauliflower; garlic; jicama; daikon radish; white potato; white peaches; white onion; parsnips and white nectarines are packed with dietary fiber and\u00a0and antioxidant-rich flavonoids, such as quercetin.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends\u00a0eating\u00a0at least five to nine servings per day of\u00a0fruits and vegetables. It’s a simple equation. The more fruit and veg you eat (especially seasonal and locally produced) and the wider range of colors you eat, the more nutrients you will be getting.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of all the great, colorful fruit and veggies that are in season in June courtesy of BetterRecipes.com!\u00a0\"\"
