Phytonutrients and the Color of Food

In this addition to our Lecture Series, Meghan Hamrock, MS, MPH, talks about phytonutrients and what we can learn about nutrition from the colors of our food. The produce aisle of the grocery store pops with color, but what do these colors tell us? More than just aesthetic, colors represent diversity of unique plant nutrients that provide benefits to human health. Watch to learn about phytonutrients, their amazing benefits, and how colors of your food communicate those benefits.

Does cooking fruit and vegetables reduce phytonutrient density?

[@WholisticMatters]

Hi Jordan, that's a great question. It's complicated, but our nutrition scientists say cooking can definitely impact phytonutrient content in fruits and vegetables, although the specific changes will depend on the food and cooking method. For example, some water-soluble vitamins may be lost if foods are boiled in water, but cooking them in oil may help increase absorption of fat-soluble phytonutrients.
Here's a great research paper in an open-access journal you might be interested in: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6049644/
And here's a great WholisticMatters article about nutrient bioavailability: wholisticmatters.com/nutrient-bioavailability/
