Paint Your Plate

Paint your plate with bright colors for optimum nutrition. From apples, pears, pumpkin, turnips to winter squash, these fruits and vegetables are packed with health-promoting phytochemicals. Phytochemicals (phyto is the Greek word for "plant") fight for your health. Think fight for "phytos". These plant pigments have been shown to enhance fitness, boost immunity, lower cholesterol, slow aging, and even prevent chronic diseases. So this Autumn, let the vibrant colors of fallen leaves, including vivid yellow, orange, dark red, and green, inspire your produce choices so you'll be assured a healthy supply of fight-o-chemicals.

Grocery Shopper's Tip: The brighter the color, the more plentiful the nutrients.
