Colors

Fall is the time for bright vibrant colors around here in New England so I thought I'd share some interesting colored foods for you. And no, I'm not talking about green ketchup.

Purple cauliflower is tasty and very bright. The ones that I've found around here are more flavorful than the traditional white kind.

Yellow or orange tomatoes
are almost commonplace these days but liven up a salad. I've found them to be firmer and not as sweet as ripe red ones.

Golden and striped beets Haven't tried the golden ones yet but that's next on my list.

Pomegranate November is National Pomegranate month! These seem like fussy fruit but I've heard about their health benefits.
