Spotted arching above Bonterra’s sprawling organic vineyards and Biodynamic® estates, rainbows are a real treat, brightening up the sky and adding a little color to our days. These colorful surprises remind us of the ways we can incorporate pops of color into our everyday, especially through our diets.

A plant-rich and colorful diet helps keep us at the top of our game mentally and physically, preparing us to give our all to maintaining Bonterra’s organic practices and Biodynamic® vineyards. Check out these color-coordinated tips and give our Beet Hummus a go:

• Orange & Yellow: Think carrots, citrus, and sweet potatoes. These foods are often rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and potassium, promoting eye health and strengthening bones.
• Purple & Blue: We’re talking blueberries, blackberries, eggplants, all brain foods with antioxidants galore. What’s not to love?
• Green: Dark, leafy-greens like spinach, collard greens, and kale are chock full of Vitamin A and also serve as a great source of calcium.
• Red: Here’s where the beets come in. Nitrates found in beets help lower blood pressure while natural fiber found in the colorful root veggie aids in regulating the digestive system.

Suggested Wine Pairing: Bonterra Merlot
