Check out a Color Guide to Staying Healthy and Eating Right – a visual guide to which fruits and vegetables are part of a colorful, healthy diet. Green, red, yellow, orange, blue and other colour-vibrant foods serve an important role in keeping the body healthy. Antioxidants and phytochemicals, found in fruits in vegetables, have been noted to significantly reduce cancer risks. Beta carotene and lycopene can help protect cells from damage.

Speaking of colour and variety, farmers' markets are great places to find fresh local fare. Not only can you find diversity in taste and colour, but there is also variety in form. Check out Mutatoes, a project by Uli Westphal. He photographs “non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables found at Berlin's farmers' markets.” Photos copyright (c) Uli Westphal 2007.
