Brown/Tan/White
Oh, good gigantic smile o' the brown old earth. - Robert Browning quotes
Beautiful shades of brown are generously provided by nature - from pale beech to rich mahogany wood, white sandy beaches to rich chocolate earth and caramel sugar to dark, sticky molasses. Brown is wholesome, earthy and substantial.
Brown / Tan / White veggies and fruit include the intense flavours of the onion family, the substance of legumes and potatoes and many other firm family favourites. They contain phytochemicals like allyl sulphides and polyphenols, both of which are being studied for their potential role in reducing heart disease.
- Polyphenols: are being investigated for their potential to reduce heart disease and the risk of certain cancers.
- Allyl Sulfides: Along with potentially promoting heart hearth, they may boost the production of enzymes that benefit the immune system.
