Color Theory, But Edible.
Red for circulation. Blue for clarity. Orange for balance. Yellow for immunity. Phytonutrients mapping the body’s palette. Craving is a cue, not a flaw.
WHAT ARE YOU CRAVING:
Red — Circulation
Red fruits like cherries, strawberries, and raspberries are rich in antioxidants that support blood flow and collagen production. When you crave red, your body might be asking to wake up — to feel more alive, more charged, more in motion.
Blue / Purple — Clarity
Blueberries, blackberries, and plums are cognitive allies — loaded with compounds that protect neurons and sharpen focus. A craving for blue or purple is often your body’s way of asking for calm and concentration, a little less noise, a little more clarity.
Orange / Peach — Balance
Oranges, peaches, and apricots hydrate, soothe, and restore. Beta-carotene and vitamin C help balance digestion and revive radiance from within. If you’re reaching for something soft and golden, maybe your system just wants to come back into rhythm.
Yellow — Immunity
Mangoes, golden pears, apricots — edible sunlight. Packed with vitamin C and energy, they lift your mood and reinforce your defences. A craving for yellow is your body, your mood, rebooted.
The Spectrum
Eat by color, not by rule. Your cravings already know the algorithm. Balance, disguised as desire.
