Lets face it, when there were so many other delicious treats to 2 , why eat boring vegetables?Since then my taste buds have 3 and Im also fully aware of the health benefits of eating fresh vegetables. But we still need 4 of the amazing goodness these green super foods give us. In the UK, a campaign has been 5 for several years to encourage us to eat our “5 A Day”five portions of fruit and vegetables. Thats 6 evidence has shown there are significant health 7 to getting at least five 80g portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.But I struggle trying to fit these five portions into my daily 8 , partly because I have a sweet 9 and vegetables are, well, tasteless.
