White Food

We've all heard the mantra to stay away from white foods.  Those over processed carbs that make up the white pasta, white flour, white rice group.  I've heard about incorporating the rainbow into one's diet to ensure one is eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. The rainbow would be yellow, orange, purple, red and green.  The rainbow excludes white, which got me thinking about what fruits and vegetables would fall into the white colour category.  For fun I started a list and this is what I ended up with:


Cauliflower
White Asparagus
White Beans
Endive
Garlic
Ginger
Jerusalem artichokes
Jicama
Mushrooms
White nectarines
Onions
Parsnips
White Peaches
Asian Pears
Shallots
Turnips
White corn
Potatoes

Now to research and make a list of black, brown and other colours not included in the rainbow.
