Almost all fruit and vegetables count towards your- 5 A DAY
- eat a variety of fruit and vegetables to get the maximum nutritional benefits.
- This is because they each contain different combinations of fibre, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
- HOWEVER!! Ready meals, convenience foods and takeaways are often high in added salt, sugar or fat and should only be eaten in moderation - so it's important to check the nutritional information on food labels.
- Potatoes and other related vegetables such as yams and cassava do not count. This is because they are classified as starchy foods
