Most of us know by now that in order to stay healthy we're supposed to eat at a minimum five portions of fruit and vegetables every day, as recommended by the Food Standards Agency. Sounds pretty straight forward until you start to think about the fact that we aren't really ever told what counts as a portion.

One portion of fruit and veg is usually about 80g, but that's not much help when you're on the run or your scales are at the back of the cupboard.
Guidelines such as these can be confusing, and so we've put together this handy portion guide to make sure you're getting enough of what you need.
