Posted on July 30, 2009

“As a general rule, deeply colored fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of the beneficial pigments, but paler foods often contain different compounds (some antioxidants and phytochemicals are colorless).  Eat a variety of produce in a rainbow of colors for best nutrition.”¹
