Did you know the colour of a food shows the kind of nutrients in it? Phytochemicals are naturally found in plant-based foods and act as antioxidants in the body. Each colour represents a different phytochemical so when you eat a wide range of colourful food you know you are getting the best for your body. Add a small amount of good fats – like avocado or olive oil – to maximise vitamin uptake.
