Vegetables and fruits are important sources of micronutrients and dietary fibre but the amounts vary according to the type of vegetable or fruit. Orange vegetables, such as orange sweet potato and carrots, and orange fruits, such as mango and pawpaw but not citrus fruits (e.g. oranges and lemons), are excellent sources of vitamin A. Most fruit and fresh (notovercooked) vegetables provide vitamin C. Dark green vegetables supply folate and some vitamin A. Many vegetables (e.g. tomatoes, onions) provide additional important micronutrients that may protect against some chronic conditions such as heart disease. The best way to make sure we get enough of each micronutrient and enough fibre is to eat a variety of vegetables and fruits every day.
