One portion of vegetables for adults is approximately 80g e.g. 3 heaped tablespoons of cooked carrots, peas or sweetcorn, 3 heaped tablespoons of beans and other pulse vegetables, such as kidney beans, lentils and chickpeas. Beans and pulses count as a maximum of one portion a day, however much you eat. This is because, while pulses contain fibre, they don’t give the same mixture of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients as fruit and vegetables. Note: Potatoes, yams and cassava do not count towards your 5 A DAY because they contribute mainly starch to your diet however, other root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, parsnips, swede and turnips, do count towards your fruit and veg portions.
