Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I eat Thirty Plants in a week?
The idea of aiming to eat at least Thirty Plants every week has been popularised particularly by an organisation called Zoe. For a detailed explanation, I highly recommend visiting their website.

What counts as a plant?
Luckily its not just fruits and vegetables that count - herbs, spices, even drinks like coffee can count towards your total. However one of my main goals with Thirty Plants was that it should not be overly opinionated and allow people to use the app in whatever way they like. So don't worry about the rules, just do whatever works for you and most importantly provides the encouragement you need to eat a more diverse diet.
