Can you count how many whole plant foods you’ve eaten today?
The six main plant food groups include the following:
- Whole vegetables
- Whole fruits
- Whole grains
- Legumes
- Raw nuts and seeds
- Herbs and spices
Mixing and matching ingredients from each of these 6 groups can create delicious AND nutritious plant-based meals.
Why is eating more whole plant foods important?
They contain fibre and phytonutrients which are both essential for optimal health.
By ADDing more whole plant foods, you will naturally crowd out processed foods full of added sugar, salt and trans fats, as well as animal products high in saturated fats and absent in fibre and protective phytonutrients.
