Veggies: Wondrous Nutrition

To help make it easier to get veggies on the plate, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently introduced its new icon, MyPlate, a plate divided into four color-coded sections representing vegetables, fruit, grains and protein, with dairy on the side. The easy-to-interpret design is meant to help consumers make healthier food choices—including filling half their plate with vegetables and fruits. For more information about MyPlate visit www.choosemyplate.gov.

Think of veggies as a convenient way you can help enhance the nutritional power of every meal. Remember, aim to fill half your plate with veggies. You’ll get lots in return. Birds Eye® always has fresh veggies ready for you and your family. Find a Birds Eye® product for any meal!
