ea Shoots are low in fat and with just 9 calories per 50g bag and 14 calories per 80g vegetable portion (equivalent to a cereal bowlful), they are a delicious addition to any diet. Quick to prepare they provide a tasty and convenient way to help people achieve their ‘5 a day’ – especially as they are ideal partners for other vegetables whether served hot or as part of a mixed salad. Daily salad eaters have also been found to have better intakes and blood levels of vitamin C, folic acid and carotenoids such as beta-carotene (which the body can convert to vitamin A)
