Are potatoes one of your 5 portions fruit / veg a day?

[Mum2Ela]

I am thinking not, but is this right?

And how about sweet potato, is that the same?

Regular potatoes are not. I don't know about sweet potatoes - I would say they'd count, as they've got a lot more nutritional value.

So do we think no to reg pots but a maybe to sweet pots?

I think regular potatoes don't count but sweet potatoes do.

According to this , they do count as one of your 5 a day.

Sweet potatoes, that is, not regular ones.
