Highlights
•
Herbs and spices count as plants — and they're disproportionately rich in polyphenols
Fearnley-Whittingstall: most people forget that herbs, spices, nuts, and seeds all count toward the 30-plant target. Adding a handful of mixed seeds to breakfast and two herbs to dinner immediately adds 3-4 plants per day.•

Spector: people often avoid non-organic produce due to pesticide fears, which actually reduces their plant diversity. The health benefit of eating a wide variety of conventional produce far outweighs any risk from trace pesticide exposure.Was this useful?
