We're all about sourcing, prepping, cooking and eating good food here at The Kitchn, yet there's one area we seldom think about: using food plants as dye. But now that I have the beautiful poster pictured above hanging in my kitchen, I'm inspired to take another look at my food scraps and consider what color they might produce on a t-shirt, or a napkin. Take avocado pits, for instance. Depending on the mordants (used to help fix the color) an avocado pit will produce anything from a pale mauve to a deep grey. 

Eat your greens... and your reds, and your yellows, and your violets. That's the message of this bold and informative poster. Want a reminder of just which nutrients are in your fruits and vegetables? Hang this on your kitchen wall. 

We received a note from a reader named Peggy, who sent us these photos of the loveliest family heirloom: A hand-embroidered seasoning chart. Want to hear her story about this beautiful heirloom?

Varying sizes and styles also keep it interesting, and break up the monotony of the white wall. What do you think?

This isn't the first time we've seen food-as-Pantone-chips (remember these cute Pantone tarts?) but it's still fun to see what designers come up with. The latest version from Minneapolis-based art director David Schwen offers a twist on the meme by combining commonly paired foods, instead of colors! Schwen started a hashtag #pantonepairings on Instagram to share his creations: More

We've been on a bit of a chart kick this week. What's not to love? Anytime we can look to a handy infographic to tell us what we'd otherwise spend a few minutes googling is to us a far better use of time, no? This wine chart is one such infographic. It's not the be-all-end-all of wine and food pairings (and serious aficionados will want to nitpick, and that's fine) but it is a good starting point. More

First there was the Splendiferous Array of Culinary Tools, which meant it was only a matter of time before Pop Chart Labs divvied up all the kitchenware tools, machines, and helpers into one awesomely exhaustive chart. More
