To help celebrate National Registered Dietitian’s Day today, I am going to discuss one of my favorite colors of produce: red! Red fruits and vegetables offer a great deal of vitamins and minerals that help maintain a healthy heart, vision, immunity, and like the other colors, help reduce cancer risks. Each color offers different nutrients, which is why we encourage you to get a balanced and colorful diet, ensuring you are meeting your nutrient requirements and aiding in disease prevention. Try adding some colorful red produce to your diet!
Fruits: cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, red/pink grape fruit, red grapes, watermelon
Vegetables: beets, red onions, red peppers, red potatoes, rhubarb, tomatoes
