MrPP gets very grumpy when I tell him his tomato salad in the evening didn't count because he'd already had a portion of tomatoes for lunch! Five different things can be a challenge, even with our own veg plots.I sympathise with MrPP.
Do you reckon if you eat the roots and leaves of a bunch of beetroot it counts as one or two? I think two, leaves and roots being nutritionally different.
10 x 80g portions of 10 different fruit/veg - from the garden is challenging for the gardener, the cook and the eater!!
Having looked at some of the portion sizes - 3 tabsps of peas or carrots for example, I couldn't be bothered to cook that small amount for myself - I'd have to double or treble the amount to make it worth eating!!
IIRC there was half a courgette or a 2" length of cucumber or 1 tomato.
