Ever hear the dictum, Eat Your Colors? The reasoning is that colorful fruits and vegetables contain various nutrients that are vital for good health.

According to Wellness Today:
Green foods contain chlorophyll;
Yellow foods are rich in Vitamin C;
Orange foods are high in beta-carotene;
Red foods are rich in the phytonutrients lycopene and anthocyanin; and
Purple foods contain the most antioxidants of all the colors.

Cauliflower is a cool weather crop in the Brassica family. Cauliflower can be white, green, orange or purple.

The great thing about purple cauliflower is that it retains its color even when cooked.

I see a colorful stir-fry in your future!
