Today we will be looking at the last point in our series on Getting More Phytonutrients - from the handout "2015 The Institute for Functional Medicine"
"Be Creative with Substitutions
One way to get more plant foods would be to think of foods that are commonly eaten that may not be as nutrient dense and replace with nutrient-dense options. Some plant foods clearly give us more phytonutrients than others! For example you could substitute mashed potatoes with mashed purple potatoes or sweet potatoes. You could substitute white rice with purple, brown, or black rice."
We have replaced rice with brown rice mostly. I have bought and tried black rice. It is actually pretty good, it has a nutty flavor.
Now we can get to the fun part - "Eating From the Rainbow" Coming soon! :O)

Where did you get this series from? It sounds interesting. Also I never heard of black rice until now.
