Plant Points are a handy way to make sure you’re eating a nutrient-packed diet.
Aim for at least 30 plant points a week to support your overall wellbeing. Eating a wide range of plant point foods can help you achieve more diverse gut microbiomes – playing a fundamental role in health and disease. You can get Plant Points from:
- Whole foods = 1 Plant Point
- Powdered foods = ½ a Plant Point
- Herbs & spices = ¼ of a Plant Point
We’re proud to be the first high street retailer to include Plant Points on our food labels.
