Are herbs counted as part of your five a day?

Herbs are not counted as part of your five a day. The five a day recommendation refers to eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables per day. Herbs are generally not considered to be fruits or vegetables, and are usually used in small quantities to add flavour to dishes. Fruit and vegetables are good sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while herbs are often used for their medicinal properties or for adding flavour.
