This survey analysed the nutrient composition of fruits and vegetables. Samples were analysed for energy and a range of nutrients including fat, fatty acids, protein, carbohydrate, AOAC fibre and a full range of vitamins and minerals.
Public Health England (PHE) carries out ongoing nutrient analysis surveys to provide up to date information on food, and monitor the nation’s diet.
The results of this survey and similar surveys of food composition are incorporated into PHE’s nutrient databanks used in the National Diet and Nutrition Survey and other dietary surveys and will be published in McCance and Widdowson’s Composition of Foods series.
