Most of us don't get enough vegetables. For most vegetables, 1 cup is a serving. For raw, leafy vegetables like salad greens it's 2 cups. Vegetables are a great source of healthy nutrients like fibre, potassium, folate, and vitamin A. They also play a big role in helping people lose or maintain weight. Vegetables are rich in fibre, which helps fill you up. Plus, when you're eating more low-calorie vegetables, there's less space for eating less higher-calorie less-healthful foods. ~ Berceste
