If we are generalize, we can say that dark colored foods are healthier than light colored ones (ofcourse we are talking about natural foods). Red and purple colored foods are the biggest examples of this.
Red foods contain phytochemicals called lycopene and betalain. Lycopene gives color to tomato, also betalain gives color to red beets. The antioxidants in these foods fight free radicals in our bodies.
Red beets also help the digestive system with the large amount of fiber it contains. Supports hemoglobin production with the iron it contains.
