Potatoes, jam, and fruit yoghurts are not considered as part of your daily fruit and vegetable intake due to their starch content and high sugar levels.
In the quest for a healthier lifestyle, getting your five portions of fruits and vegetables each day is a common goal. However, there are a few unexpected culprits that wellness experts from Simply Supplements have unveiled as foods that won't help you in achieving that target.
Potatoes A British staple, potatoes, may not contribute to your daily fruit and veg intake as they are classified as a source of starch. However, sweet potatoes, with their lower starch content, can be a worthy inclusion in your quest to reach five-a-day. Whether mashed, fried, baked, or boiled, one medium sweet potato can bring you closer to your goal.
Fruit Yoghurts While fruit yoghurts are a breakfast favourite, they might not contain enough fruit to count as a portion of your five-a-day. They can also be loaded with added sugars. To make a healthier choice, mix your favourite fruits or berries into plain natural yoghurt. Ketchup Despite its tomato base, ketchup's high sugar and salt content mean it doesn't count towards your daily five-a-day. While you can still enjoy it in moderation, consider switching to a reduced sugar and salt version for a more wholesome choice.
