Fruits & Vegetables
What could provide our bodies with a wealth of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, and various phytochemicals - ALL essential for good health?
Fruits & Vegetables are all that. Better yet, this food group makes our meals more interesting; adding different colors, flavors, and textures to our plate.

As a rule, the color of fruits and vegetables is a good indicator of their nutritional content. Phytochemicals are biologically active substances that occur in plants and give vegetables their color, flavor and odor. They work as antioxidants, protecting our cells and organs from the damage caused by free radicals. For example, beta-carotene, which becomes vitamin A in the body, is found in yellow, orange and dark green vegetables. Beta-carotene is associated with reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and eye disorders.
