Greens

The Eatwell Guide says to eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day. This is a combined number when in reality someone could be eating 4 portions of fruit and only 1 portion of vegetables per day. Although fruit is a natural food and contains fibre, vitamins and minerals it is still higher in sugar than vegetables. The Mediterranean diet traditionally emphasizes to eat an abundance of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds as its primary foundation; recommending  7-10 servings of fruit and vegetables per day with the focus being on seasonal vegetables. Green vegetables are a great source of antioxidants due to its chlorophyll content and benefit our health in areas of immunity, heart health, digestion and weight control. Beyond Greens is a convenient way to top up your green vegetable count!
