I always try to cook with the most naturally colourful foods, because they are higher in antioxidants than those that are pale. Plus, coloured foods look prettier on a plate! I’ve put together a list of the rainbow of ingredients that I incorporate into my cooking most often – foods that add both nutrition and colour to an endless slew of dishes.

The purple water can be added to savoury dishes like soups and dips.
