Vegetables and Fruit

Eating a variety of vegetables and fruits is important for your health.

Vegetables and fruits come in many forms, such as fresh, frozen, and canned.

Frozen and canned vegetables and fruits:

  • Are just as nutritious as fresh vegetables and fruits.
  • Are a healthy and convenient option.
  • Take little time to prepare.
  • Often cost less than fresh vegetables and fruits.

Canada’s Food Guide recommends:

  • Trying to make half (50%) of your plate vegetables and fruit
  • Including plenty of vegetables and fruits with your meals and snacks
  • Choosing different textures, colours, and shapes to fit your taste
