What’s affordable, delicious, and essential to our health?
Vegetables! Even though we know veggies are important for good health, 93% of Australians still aren’t eating enough of them. On average, Aussies eat just 1.8 serves a day, far below the recommended 5 serves. Meanwhile, getting veg into our kids is even more of a challenge, with only 4.6% meeting the daily recommendation.
So how about some good news? Eating more veggies doesn’t have to break the bank. Fresh, in-season vegetables can cost as little as 70 cents a serve, what a bargain! Discover simple (and tasty!) recipes packed with veggies, along with easy tips for making healthy, delicious, and budget-friendly meals for you and the whole family to enjoy.
