How many vegetables and fruits do you eat everyday: Asian perspective

[AndrewJin]

Yeah, it would be nicer if with a bottle of ice cold beer.


Only after leaving school, I start to miss school canteen food, cheap, safe, delicous.

Yep, memorable days.
BBQ+chicken noodle, my favourite at school.
cheap and delicious

I eat A LOT of greens. Fiber and complex carbs, not so much protein nowadays.

Indian cuisine is full of vegetables, but most of the dishes its either fried/cooked for too long and it ends up losing most of its nutritional value. East Asians and Viets have got it right, having it steamed or in soup form is much more healthier.

Ah, good thread and I feeled hungry when I saw it. People in where I live really love spicy food. We add pepper even we cook vegetables

But very dilicious! 湘菜 is very famous in China.

I like these.
My mother comes from Hunan Province, I haven't seen a single person who can eat more spicy food than I do. For breakfast, I prefer very spicy rice noodle.

哈密瓜!!

That's definitely one of my favorites. And always fresher than imported fruit.

We don't eat vegetables in Pakistan. If we do, the dishes are mixed with meat. We eat a lot fruit though.

The general recommendation for daily intake of fruit and vegetables is more than 400 grams per person per day or about 150 kg per person per yea. Information from the FAO statistical database suggests that the total supply of fruit and vegetables available is 173 kg per person per year, which divides into 111.6 kg of vegetables and 61.4 kg of fruit.

Have you had enough today?

I eat more veggies and fruits than mat overall. I can eat 1 lb of veggies/fruits per day. On average probably half a pound of veggies per day.

Chinese actually don't eat that much meat.
62.43kilo per capita in 2014

Less meat, less fermented and process food+veggies/fruits=less chance of getting cancer and other chronic illness.

Also I follow the traditional way of Chinese eat. Ie. certain food are considered in the hot, cool, wet hot category, etc

Started at 99元。

Dropped to 79元 in mid summer.

I find them slightly expensive.

Now 柚子 is quite affordable.
