Eating colourful is a very good idea, and not only for the sake of aesthetics. Fruits and vegetables of different colours contain different types of antioxidants that play a protective role for our health. So, every day it’s important to make sure our plates are as colourful as possible.
Purple fruits and vegetables contain nutrients that have a positive effect on the eyesight. They are also thought to help prevent skin ageing, cancer, neurodegenerative and heart disease.
In Fiji, eggplants, purple cabbage and kumala can be easily found at the market. You may also have butterfly pea flowers growing in your garden… they’re perfect infused as an herbal tea.
By the way, a colourful plate may also help you impress your guests đŸ˜‰
