I’ve heard I need 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables, but what is a serve?

One serve of vegetables is 75g (100-350Kj) or:

• ½ cup cooked green or orange vegetables (e.g. broccoli, spinach, carrots, or pumpkin)
• ½ cup cooked dried or canned beans, peas or lentils
• ½ cup legumes
• ½ cup sweet corn½ medium potato or other starchy vegetables (sweet potato, taro, or cassava)
• 1 medium tomato
  
• 1 cup green leafy or raw salad vegetables
  

One serve of fruit is 150g or:

• 1 medium sized piece (e.g., apple)
  
• 2 smaller pieces (e.g., apricots)
  
• 1 cup canned or chopped fruit
  
• ½ cup (125ml) 100% fruit juice
  
• 1 ½ tablespoon dried fruit (e.g., sultanas or 4 dried apricot halves)
