Its common knowledge that colourful fruits and vegetables are good for you, but do you know why? How do you rate your everyday consumption?

Come to this enlightening nutritional Lunch ‘n Learn session to discover what fruits and veggies score:

  • The highest marks for vitamin & mineral content.
  • Highest on the ORAC scale – rich in antioxidants to ward off illness and ailments.
  • On a phytochemical level to keep you healthy and energized throughout the day.

We’ll discuss why Canada’s Food Guide and other nutritional sources recommend appropriate amounts of these colourful foods in your diet, and how you can personally build your own guide. See how you score in your daily intake – are you a straight A student, or is there room for improvement?
