Vegetables must be the main source of vitamins and minerals in our daily food intake. There are many different types of vegetables with a variety of textures and colors, and each color represents a different type of vitamin. In order to supply our body with all the vitamins it needs, it is very important that we eat at least five different types of vegetables in different colors every day.
