what is a serving size of vegetables
What is a serving? For vegetables, it is 1 cup leafy vegetables such as spinach, lettuce or kale or 1/2 cup raw or cooked vegetables such as green beans and carrots. For fruit, a serving size is a medium piece of fruit or 1/4 cup dried fruit or 4 ounces of juice.
