The rich, beautiful colors of fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables are not mere decoration, they are a signal from nature that these foods are bursting with healthful phytonutrients and other good things.

Nature's Color Wheel

It's another sign of natural balance: the rainbow of colors in fruits and vegetables mirroring the rainbow of health benefits they provide. These colors are the result of phytonutrients, colored pigments that have the nutritional community excited by their possible health benefits, and many are strong anti-oxidants.

Kagome has discovered that the best way to capture the nutritional complexity of fruits and vegetables is to select those richest in color, which are also richest in taste. These vegetables are specially blended to contain a variety of healthful phytonutrients. This selectiveness in color is what makes Kagome juices so delicious and good for you.

Take a look at the benefits of colorful, phytonutrient-rich fruits and vegetables using our interactive Nature’s Color Wheel:
