Morning all. Quick question. While making a chilli last night. I put both baked beans and red kidney beans in, both of which 1/2 a tin are 1of you 5 a day. So Would this count as 2 portions or because they are both beans can they only be counted once? Thank you

I read on a reputable page the other day that beans only count once in the same way as orange juice does. It was part of a link to a quiz that someone posted.

Yes, I would agree 😊 The aim is to eat 5 different types of vegetable a day (at least)
