The vegetable group is toward the bottom of the pyramid. This means that lots of daily servings of vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet.
Veggies are great because they have tons of vitamins and minerals.
Vegetables also provide carbohydrates for the energy your body needs, and lots of fiber. Fiber is important because it helps your digestive system move things along the way it should. The Food Pyramid suggests that people eat three to five servings from this group each day.
