National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month Fact Sheet

For National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month, see how many different kinds of fruits and

vegetables you can eat.

Is there a food that you’ve seen, but never tried? How about an eggplant?

A fresh pineapple? An artichoke?

Go ahead and be adventurous. Try something of every color!

Red foods like watermelon, tomatoes, and red peppers help keep your heart healthy and protect you from some cancers. They also have lots of vitamin A and C.

Orange and yellow fruits and vegetables are good for your eyes and bones. Load up on oranges, pineapples, sweet potatoes, and carrots!

Green foods like peas, green beans, green grapes, and kiwi are good for your eyes, bones, and teeth. Don’t forget to try some dark green foods like spinach and broccoli! These can protect against some cancers.

Blue, purple, and dark red fruits and veggies are great for brain and heart health. How about giving purple grapes, plums, blueberries, and eggplant a try?

White isn’t in the rainbow, but why not have some fruits or veggies of this color anyway? Mushrooms, potatoes, white peaches, and onions are good choices. These foods help fight disease and prevent certain cancers. Don’t forget that bananas are white on the inside!
