Hey, welcome to Nourishable, I’m Dr. Lara. It is recommended that adults eat five to six servings of vegetables per day, but what counts as a serving? Let’s science it. One serving is the equivalent of a half a cup of veggies. Fresh, frozen, canned, dried, juiced, cooked and raw forms all count. This could be half a cup of mashed sweet potato, half a cup of cherry tomatoes, half a cup of canned green beans or half a cup of frozen cauliflower. Things are a bit different for leafy greens because they’re less dense, so their nutrients and calories aren’t as concentrated. One cup of raw leafy greens is the equivalent to half a cup of other veggies, so this cup of baby spinach counts as one serving of vegetable. This is referred to as a cup equivalent. But if your leafy greens are cooked then they’re counted the same as other veggies, so this half cup of steamed spinach is one serving of veggie. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends eating a diversity of vegetables from all the five subgroups: dark green, red and orange, legumes, starchy and other. Varying your veggies ensures that you get the whole wide range of nutrients provided by these plant powerhouses. That’s what science tastes like.
