Apples

Apples are a great source of fibre and vitamin C, as well as a range of naturally occurring plant compounds. The fibre can support healthy digestion and help you feel fuller for longer, while eating a variety of fruit and vegetables contributes to overall health. Keep the skin on where possible for more fibre.

Blackberries

These little autumn berries are packed with fibre, vitamins and antioxidants. Their deep colour comes from naturally occurring plant compounds, and they make an easy way to add more fruit to breakfasts, yoghurt, porridge or desserts. Eight large blackberries count as a portion of fruit towards your 5 A Day.

Leeks

Leeks are an easy way to add more vegetables and fibre to everyday meals. They also provide vitamins and minerals, while belonging to the same family as onions and garlic. They can be added to soups, stews, pies, pasta and risottos — making them a particularly useful ingredient as we move into cooler weather. Leeks count towards your 5 A Day too.
