Each colour category carries their own set of phytochemicals, and they give vegetables their vibrant colours and unique disease fighting properties. Check out this resource to learn more about phytochemicals and their unique benefits.

Vegetables contribute to a healthy, balanced diet and are low in kilojoules - which means you can enjoy more of it!

They are a good source of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients

They can help to reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases.

They're an excellent source of dietary fibre, which can help to prevent constipation and maintain a healthy gut. A diet high in fibre can also reduce your risk of bowel cancer.

Vegetables taste delicious and there's so much variety to choose from here in Australia.
