HOW TO EAT A COLOR

HOW TO EAT A COLOR

you can

bake it

boil it

broil it

roast it

toast it

or even eat it raw

but i wouldn’t suggest that

blue is best served hot

purple is not

pour it over some ice

or eat it with a bowl of rice

orange can be eaten straight out of the can

or go get the good stuff

which can be shipped in from japan

the best pink is found in the sea

but don’t quote me

because many disagree

the most common is red

you can eat it straight off a tree

for free

green is my personal favorite

but just use a little to flavor it

and don’t forget to savor it

the most important thing to remember is

no matter which color you eat

they’re all delicious

and nutritious

so get ambitious

and try them all!
