Do you have 30 fruit & veg in your fridge/ freezer/ cupboard right now?

[GRex]

I read "do you eat 30 different fruit / veg in a week", and I started out curious if we even HAD 30 to pick from. We don't all eat all items, and certainly not all within a week; of the 36+ core items it's unlikely any individual one of us would go over 20 on a given week. How many do you have and actually use?

This is what we have; occasional other bits like figs I don't buy enough to count, I think this is the main set:
13? Fridge: olives, cherry tomatoes, potatoes, iceberg lettuce, artichokes, romaine lettuce, rocket, baby courgette, mixed peppers, fresh chillies, ginger, garlic, baby leek, red onion, spring onion, coleslaw, kimchi, some M&S mixed salad packs (assume we won't count garlic and random pack mixes)
3 Fruit: apples, clementines, raisins
3 Freezer fruit (only for pancakes): blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
3 Freezer veg: cauliflower rice, sprouts, mushrooms garlic, ginger, chillies, mixed greens thing, packs of chopped leek/ courgette / onion / aubergine (from when we were going away)
5 Fruit juices: apple, raspberry, pineapple, rhubarb, grapefruit.
10? Cupboard (used a lot but removing lots of duplicates): peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, almonds, cashews, seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, chia, sesame, black sesame, mixed), beans (baked, black, pinto, butter, kidney), water chestnut, bamboo, grated coconut, tinned tomato, tomato paste, mixed grains, artichokes
0 Cupboard (so rarely used): pistachio butter, pearl barley, hearts of palm, poppy seeds, lentils of various types (not counted as not eaten often), walnuts.

Aww have you got a teeny tiny fridge freezer too? Don’t feel bad, one day we’ll get there.

Jealousy over a fridge is wild though.

Ladies. In some excellent news, I see from another thread that chocolate, coffee and tea count as half each. I'm pretty sure my coffee portions should be double points, but I'll take the win.

Interesting, I’m going to list what I have from memory as im in bed and want to see how many I have

and probably loads of herbs in jars and in the freezer and tins of beans, lentils, etc.,

How are you with beans, seeds and nuts? They can add nice variety.

not really. The cashew butter absorbs an amazing amount of liquid. a rounded dessertspoonful will make sauce with around a snacksized yoghurt pot of water, the kind that comes in 4s and you break the pots apart, but you really need to fiddle around. Ponzu is a yuzu soya sauce mix adds umami and sharpness. its a very easy sauce to fiddle with both to get your choice of thickness and flavour.

Chapeau.

This is very interesting!

Yes its 30 plants. I have Hugh Fearnly Whittingstalls book, which has a ticklist at the front. We hit 30 plants a week fairly easily. Its more about the variety than the amount, so if you eat 1 satsuma, that counts as one, so you cant eat 30 satsumas.

I live on my own and have to force myself to eat veg. I only like broccoli, cauli and carrots. Have them, raw carrots and frozen br and cauli. I am averse to most fruit also, but like berries, so frozen blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are in the freezer. Spinach for adding to smoothies. I use lazy garlic and frozen onions in recipes. That's more or less it.

I can't believe the amount of f+v some of you have, but I suppose I am the anomaly!

Where do you live that you can grow all that?! I’m envious!

Fridge: 20. carrots, mushrooms, green beans, lettuce, cucumber, spring onion, cauliflower, cavalo nero, tomatoes, broccoli, radishes, grapes, courgettes, aubergine, peppers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, coriander, basil
Fruit bowl: 8. kiwis, oranges, watermelon, avocado, bananas, apples, lemons, limes,
freezer: 8. cherries, blueberries, mango, peas, curry leaves, Broad beans, edamame, spinach
Store cupboard 11. tinned tomatoes, apricots, prunes, raisins, cranberries, banana chips, coconut flakes, potato, sweet potato, onion, garlic
Other: 10. chick peas, black beans, butter beans, haricot beans, red lentils, green lentils, linseed, flax seed, walnuts, almonds

so, 47 fruit and veg in total, 57 including pulses, nuts etc which I’m actually amazed at. In terms of how many we eat on average, 3 of the household are vegetarian and I think would be close to the 30 a week, I’m not veggie, but do eat a lot of veg in particular, so also might hit that number. One DC is very limited in diet so no where near the 30, but she always self-imposes a 5 a day rule, but they are always the same 5!

I have an allotment and generally have a decent amount of home grown veg that I blanch or turn into soups. I make my own pasta sauces but we use so many tomatoes that I'm currently waiting for this seasons to start fruiting:)
I'm veggie so we eat a mainly vegetarian diet (if dh wants meat he can cook it)
I don't eat enough fruit as I really only like pineapple melon and mangos and they never last long..I make myself eat an apple a day! The rest is all eaten most weeks and the fridge contents every few days.

No. It's totally unaffordable.

Not the point of the thread but where did you get your pistachio butter? I brought some back from holidays but the only place I have seen it here is ocado.
