Many organizations cook up recommendations for the number of fruit and vegetable servings you should eat every day. Well known examples include Canada’s Food Guide which says you need roughly 7 to 10 servings, the American Heart Association which recommends 8 to 10 and the Harvard School of Public Health suggests somewhere between 5 and 13 servings of fruit and vegetables. While recipes and recommendations vary somewhat based on the specific food item, one serving is roughly equivalent to 1/2 cup or 75 g.
