With news that under-50s are becoming more vulnerable to serious illness thanks to poor diets, experienced dietitian Jo Travers explains how to get more fruit and veg in your shopping basket without sending your grocery bill sky high.
But not all plants are made equal. Potatoes and plantain don’t count towards the target because, as starchy carbs, they don’t have the same nutritional value as other fruit and veg. Sweet potatoes, however, do make the cut. That doesn’t mean white potatoes aren’t rich in certain minerals , or that plantain isn’t a delicious source of fibre and energy – both can play a key role in your daily diet.
“They’re not the cheapest thing at around £2 a bag, but it’s still so much cheaper than buying fresh. They’re also better because the freezing process preserves the nutrients better. You also don’t have to worry about them going off, and that’s really useful.”When to choose fresh over the freezer A top tip for keeping broccoli fresher for longer is to chop off the very end of the stalk before sticking the whole thing in a cup of water in your fridge. Like a plant, it’ll stay hydrated and fresher for longer.Although they’re high in sugar, Travers says both dried fruits and juice can be really handy. She doesn’t advocate for drinking a whole carton of orange juice, but one cup is packed with vitamin C and energy – making it the perfect pick-me-up.
