Each plant contains a unique mix of the thousands of phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber that are beneficial to health—that’s why we love the idea of “Eating the Rainbow.”

Eating the rainbow is focused on increasing the number of colorful herbs, micro greens, leafy greens, and vegetables in each meal. This not only increases the flavor and visual appeal of your meal, but it also increases the health benefits!

You may be wondering, what are phytonutrients? Phytonutrients (aka phytochemicals) are chemical compounds produced by plants to help protect them from disease, sun damage, and predators like insects. Phytonutrients are what give plants their unique colors, smells, and tastes. Many phytonutrients have antioxidant properties, which means they help to protect our cells from damage. Studies show that people who eat more plant foods have a reduced risk of chronic diseases and enjoy better brain health and lower inflammation.
