We’ve all heard the “5-a-day” message at some point.
But what’s it all about?
Do we really need 5 portions of fruit and veg each day? Is that actually enough?

And what on earth is a “portion”? Does the cucumber in your sandwich count?
And what about potatoes?!? 
We’ve just added a new article to Veg Box Recipes to help answer these and many other questions about how much fruit and vegetables we should be eating.
So if you’d like to find out what the fuss is all about and get some great recipe ideas, to help you eat as much fruit and veg as you choose, read the article now: How Much Fruit And Veg Should I Eat?
Then pop back here to post your comments. 
Thanks,
