Greenheart ‘Rainbow Antioxidant’ Box, Organic

Eating the Rainbow is a fundamental healthy eating tip. And no, we don’t mean artificially colored foods like Skittles or M&Ms 🙂 But what does it mean? Why is it important to get a variety of freshly harvested colourful vegetables in your diet? You might be tempted to concentrate on a few foods that you and your family members like and focus on eating those. And it can be easy to fall into routines. But the truth is: Our bodies benefit from variety. For optimal health, we need a rainbow of nutrients and colors.

In fact, the variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals in fruit and vegetables have enormous healing powers. And many of them bring their own distinctive colours. Eating a diversity of colourful foods can be an easy way to get a complete range of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive.

This Box makes Rainbow eating easy. It contains a large selection of all different colored foods. All of them grown on our own farm and freshly picked every day. The box contains about 8.5kg of produce. Here is a list of all colors and foods together with some of their health benefits.
