We all know we should eat more fruit and vegetables, but "five serves a day" only helps if you know what a serve actually looks like.

A serving is often smaller—or larger—than you might expect, and it's not always easy to picture without a set of scales handy.

Drawn from our scientific Bioactive Master Files, the guides below show you what a single serving of common fruits and vegetables looks like, both by measurement and by everyday visual comparisons, so you can size up your plate at a glance and feel confident you're getting the variety and amount your body needs.
