Are herbs counted as part of your five a day?

Yes, certain herbs can be counted as part of your five a day, particularly when they are used in significant amounts. For instance, fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and cilantro can contribute to your daily vegetable intake. However, small amounts used as seasoning may not count, so it's best to use them generously in meals to reap their nutritional benefits. Always prioritize a variety of fruits and vegetables to meet the five-a-day recommendation effectively.
