Strive for 5 Cups of Fruits & Vegetables

Like most Americans, you may not be getting the recommended 5 cups of fruits and veggies every day. At Wegmans we call it “Strive for 5” to emphasize that we all need to work hard to get those 5 cups into our daily diets. We say 5 cups because that’s close to the average amount needed for adults. Depending on your age and activity level a bit more or less than 5 cups may be fine.
