We all know that we should include 5 portions of fruit and vegetables in our diet. As well as providing vitamins and minerals they help to protect us against cancers and heart disease. In general the more colourful the food, the more nutritious it is as the actual pigment contains antioxidants.

It is important to ensure that you include a good variety of colours to make sure you are getting a good balance in your diet.
