Vegetables are a great source of vitamins, minerals and fibre, and an important part of a balanced diet.

Evidence shows there are significant health benefits to getting at least five portions of a variety of vegetables and fruit every day.

Did you know?

  • 80g of fresh, tinned or frozen fruit and vegetables counts as one portion of your 5 A Day. Remember to choose tinned veg in water, without added salt or sugar.
  • Sweet potatoes count towards your 5 A Day, but regular potatoes do not.
  • Baked beans in tomato sauce count towards one of your 5 A Day - choose versions lower in salt and sugar.
