7 Red and Purple Foods Worth Eating More Often After 40
Most of us eat the same few fruits and vegetables on repeat. Here are seven deeply colored foods that rarely make the list, and an easy way to get more of them.
Quick check: when did you last eat beets? Hibiscus? Pomegranate?
For most people, red and purple foods are the rarest part of the week. They're also some of the most colorful foods in the produce aisle.
Here are seven worth adding, and how to make it easy.
1.Beets.
Roast them, grate them into a salad or blend them into a smoothie. Beets bring a deep red color that's hard to find anywhere else.
2.Strawberries.
The easiest red on the list. Add them to breakfast, yogurt or a salad.
3.Blueberries.
Fresh or frozen, they're a simple way to add deep blue-purple color to your morning.
4.Hibiscus.
Usually enjoyed as a tart, ruby-red tea. Brew it hot or iced.
5.Grapes.
Red and purple grapes make an easy snack. Keep a bowl washed and ready.
6.Pomegranate.
The seeds, called arils, add color and crunch to salads, oatmeal and yogurt.
7.The Shortcut: Daily Reds.
If shopping for six kinds of red foods every week isn't realistic, one scoop of Daily Reds includes 975 mg beet root, 600 mg hibiscus, 400 mg strawberry and a 10-berry blend with pomegranate, cranberry and more.
The takeawayEat the foods when you can. Use the shortcut when you can't.
