Fruits and vegetables fall into different color categories: red, purple/blue, green, white/brown and yellow/orange and eating a variety of colors is a good measure of whole nutrition.

Red foods like tomatoes, grapefruit, and watermelon contain the carotenoid lycopene which help the body get rid of free radicals.

Cayenne and other hot chili peppers contain natural compounds called capsaicinoids. These are what give the spicy fruit its anti-inflammatory properties.

We love growing our own cayenne peppers which do well here in our zone 9.
