Vegetables, most of us didn’t like them as a kid. But most adults quickly realize they are very healthy and there are some amazing ways to cook some delicious vegetables. The amount of vegetables one needs, depends on the age and sex. But on average this is about 240 grams per adult per day or 87.6 kg per year.
We can see that a bit more than half of the European countries meet this requirement. Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, Iceland, Moldova, The Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia and Sweden do not meet the requirement, with the Netherlands consuming the smallest amount of vegetables in all of Europe. What’s interesting, is that vegetable consumption is many times higher in south eastern Europe. Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, North Macedonia and Turkey consume more than 200 kg of vegetables per year.
Although there doesn’t seem to be a correlation between vegetable consumption and meat consumption, we can see that some of the European countries that have a low meat consumption, make up for it by consuming far more vegetables.
What the hell do Bulgarians eat? Low end of fruit, low end of vegetables, low end of meat, low end of fish consumption.
How is the difference between Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia so big? You’d think they have similar diets, especially considering half of Bosnians are Serbs.
