Eat the Rainbow VI

White ◻️, Tan and Brown 🍂

Yes I know, the colors white, tan and brown aren’t in the real rainbow, but they are an important part of our food rainbow. This week we will be wrapping up the Eat the Rainbow series with this dull but important color.
Colour isn’t the only indicator of phytonutrient content, and just because they don’t have the vibrant colourful pigments that other fruits and vegetables have, it doesn’t mean they don’t have any nutritional value. These fruits and veggies are chock-full of flavonoids, the powerful antioxidants that mop up free-radicals, counteracting the damage that can lead to cellular changes and disease.

This category of food includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, spices, and whole grains. These healthy foods have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. They also assist with liver and hormone health.

For instance, Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable rich in a healthy compound called sulforaphane. Garlic and onions are in the allium family of vegetables and contain the powerful compounds allicin and quercetin that help to reduce the risks of cancer and have anti-inflammatory properties. And selenium – found in mushrooms – plays a key role in supporting the immune system.

There are a few fruits available like pears, applesauce, coconut, dates, and lychees. The vegetable list includes cauliflower, garlic, onion, mushrooms, shallots, parsnips, turnips, bananas and potatoes.
Whole grains to consider when looking to eat in this category could be barley, rye, wheat and spelt, brown rice, purple rice, black rice, oats, millet, quinoa or farro. Brown liquids like coffee and tea are on the list.
