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
