She picks a color of the week to highlight fruits and vegetables that are a certain color and to encourage people to eat a greater variety of produce. Here are some tips and ideas for you to do the same thing: • Create handouts and recipes that feature fruit/veggies of a particular color-emphasis and print them on the color of the week paper. Be careful not to use paper that is too dark because that makes the text hard to read. • Dress up bulletin boards in your color of the week. Use pictures of produce from magazines, empty packages and paper plates to create a fun display. • Conduct a recipe contest with the color of the week. Give participants a list of fruit and vegetable ideas for a color and encourage them to come up with healthy recipes or serving ideas. • Have the cafeteria create dishes using fruits and vegetables from the weekly color theme. An easy idea would be to offer a simple fruit or vegetable display. See the list of colors for ideas. • Encourage people to wear the color of the week on Friday. Here is a list of fruits and vegetables by color: • Purple/blue: plums, grapes, purple cabbage, eggplant, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, purple kale, figs, purple carrots, blue potatoes, black raspberries, marion berries, boysenberries • Red: apples, tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries, red onions, rhubarb, pears, grapes, beets, red bell peppers, cherries, cranberries, pink grapefruit, watermelon, radishes, cherry tomatoes • Green: apples, pears, kale, lettuce, collard greens, spinach, green beans, broccoli, asparagus, green onions, fresh herbs, cabbage, kiwi, artichoke, Brussels, celery, chard, cucumber, green grapes, honeydew, leeks, lettuce, limes, mustard greens, okra, green onion, parsley, peas, watercress, green bell pepper, jalapeno or other chili pepper, • Orange: carrots, winter squash, oranges, cantaloupe, nectarines, papaya, peaches, apricots, tangerines, yams • Yellow/white: Lemons, grapefruit, onions, bananas, yellow apples, yellow bell peppers, cauliflower, corn, garlic, yellow grapefruit, mangoes, parsnips, pears, pineapple, squash, star fruit, yellow tomatoes, turnips, potatoes, yukon gold potatoes, sweet potatoes         Salt Brochures See all brochures in the store
