The recommendation that we eat 5 different types of frit and vegetables a day is a real advance. I still worry though which 5 and how do we choose.
The range is wide
Nuts and seeds
Pulses
Grains and cereals
Leaf vegetables
Brassica
Pods and seeds
Shoot vegetables
Bulb vegetables
Root vegetables
Tubers
Fruit vegetables
Cucumbers and squashes
Mushrooms and truffles
Sea vegetables
Apples, pears and grapes
Pitted fruit
Berries and soft fruit
Tropical and exotic fruit
Melons
Citrus fruit
Herbs
Spices
And that is a cookery book classification not botanical.
I think this is a challenge for nutrition research
