Jackson Free Press

Eating healthy is getting easier and easier for Jacksonians. Rainbow Co-op and High Noon Cafe give us easy ways to find good food that's good for you, and they do it with locally sourced products. Rainbow's selection and focus on non-GMO options make it a natural choice for health-conscious Jacksonians who named it the Best Place for Healthy Food and the Best Vegetarian Option in the 2015 Best of Jackson competition.

Here's some of what Rainbow and High Noon offer.

High Noon Cafe is probably one of the healthiest restaurants in town. You won't find a single morsel of meat, but you will find options for vegetarians, vegans and the adventurous omnivore. Dishes at High Noon include pizzas, salads, soups and desserts.

Once you've finished cleaned your plate at High Noon, you can step out into Rainbow for some light shopping. The grocery stocks a variety of natural and organic products for pet care, homes and beauty (including organic soaps that you can dispense yourself), and a huge selection of vitamins and herbs.

Rainbow Co-op (601-366-1602) is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday noon to 6 p.m. High Noon Cafe (601-366-1513) is open Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Both are located at 2807 Old Canton Road in Fondren. For more information, visit rainbowcoop.org.
