Fruit and Vegetable Nutrition Chart

Check out our color fruit and vegetable nutrition chart. Not only is color more exciting, colors in vegetables and fruits are what gives us multivitamins, minerals and fiber our body needs so much. You should get at least 5 or more servings every day, so include many different colors of fruits and vegetables in your meals.

Serve a balance of different colored foods to your family. Seeing one color on their plates isn't as appealing as a variety of different colors and tastes. It is proven that a colorful meal will be more interesting and be eaten more then a meal all the same color. Imagine a plate with a cooked chicken breast, cooked rice and sliced bananas. They may be healthy but by adding a green salad and red strawberries or watermelon you are adding more nutrition and more color to your plate.
