Dietician and lecturer at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Vicky Gould, said: “Eating a ‘rainbow’ of fruit and vegetables is fantastic advice, as different coloured fruits and vegetables contain their own specific combinations of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.
“By eating a variety of colours you ensure your body gets everything it requires for optimum health. Trying Glorious Soups’ vegetarian range for National Vegetarian Week is a delicious way of helping you get your five-a-day. Plus, each soup in the range will provide different health benefits.”
