Eating a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables is one of the simplest ways to support overall wellness. For the month of August, we’re highlighting yellow produce varieties as we enjoy yellow options like beans, beets, corn, peppers, cucumbers, summer squash, or melons.Â
Yellow fruits and vegetables offer significant nutritional value, with each variety packed with different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can benefit our body overall. Some crops, like corn, offer phytochemicals. Phytochemicals can keep carcinogens from infecting cells as well as help cells to halt and eliminate any cancer-like changes. Yellow fruits and vegetables also provide fiber, which benefits our digestive system.Â
As you incorporate different colored fruits and vegetables into your diet, remember to mix it up and keep it fresh with all colors of the rainbow.Â
