“Try for 5” is a public health message that encourages people to aim for around five serves of vegetables each day. It is designed to make nutrition guidance simple, practical, and easy to remember — not strict or prescriptive. Vegetables are a key part of dietary patterns associated with better long-term health at a population level. They provide fibre, essential vitamins and minerals, and many naturally occurring compounds that support overall diet quality. Despite this, most Australians do not regularly eat the recommended number of vegetable serves. This service provides clear, evidence-informed information about vegetable intake, why vegetables are emphasised in dietary guidance, and the broader factors that influence eating habits in Australia.
