[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1760850, member: 41816"] While I agree with everyone above when they say that vegetables may provide all the nutrients that fruit does, but I would add the comment that if people are going to depend on veg for large sections of their nutrition, then they need to have variety, plenty of it, and bear in mind that overcooking some veg will destroy some nutrients. No one is going to get adequate nutrition on teensy portions of just two or three types of their favoured veg, and refusing the rest of the plant kingdom. :) It needs to be a fab range of salad, raw veg, cooked veg, different colours, skin on (if the nutrition is in/under the skin), cooked appropriately (not boiled to death) etc. etc. Fresh, and not left decaying in the chiller drawer, or gently wizening in a bowl on the counter. :D [/QUOTE]
