    Add flavour to a

    sandwich throw
    in some lettuce
    and sliced tomato.

    What counts?
    g

    Fresh, frozen, chilled, canned, 100% juice, and


    dried fruit and vegetables all count.

    A portion of your 5 A DAY weighs approximately


    80 grams, which is roughly a handful.

    Potatoes and other related vegetables such as


    yams and cassava do not count, because they are
    classified as starchy foods.

    The fruit and vegetables contained in convenience


    foods such as ready meals, pasta sauces, soups
    and puddings can contribute to 5 A DAY.

    Convenience foods can also be high in added salt,


    sugar or fat which should only be eaten in
    moderation so its important to always check the
    nutrition information on food labels.
