Robin Greenfield | Eat The Rainbow with Ashlie Thomas and Robin Greenfield @Robin.Greenfield | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Today, we are eating the Rainbow!
It is known that a variety of colors in what we eat may be associated with diverse and higher amounts of nutrients that the body needs for greater health and wellness!
To highlight this even further, a recent report from Harvard Medical School showed that colorful fruits and vegetables often contain phytonutrients, or compounds that may promote health and help with disease prevention in humans. And interestingly, you will find that there are various phytonutrients associated with each color.
Now, why is this important in the food access conversation? Quite frankly, not everyone has sufficient access to diverse and culturally relevant food choices due to systemic, socioeconomic, and even environmental barriers. However, we believe that healthy food is a human right for all, and consistent access to the food we need to thrive is freedom! Fortunately, many of these colorful foods can be accessed right in our backyards through foraging and gardening!
So to bring awareness to the growing issues surrounding nutritious food access, today we challenge you and your family to join us in searching for (and of course eating) a rainbow of food!
How to join in
Go find foods in all the colors of the rainbow in a garden/farm, through foraging, or at your local market. (Remember ROY G BIV)
Tell us what your experience finding the rainbow was like.
TAG US in a post of you (and your family) eating your food rainbow! Challenge two friends to eat the rainbow!
