A new survey has found Bay of Plenty residents eat the widest variety of vegetables with their dinner.
The 5+ A Day survey showed 65 per cent of all New Zealanders have two to three different types of vegetables at dinner, with upper North Island residents topping the variety stakes.
Thirty-six per cent of people from the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Northland included four or more different types of vegetables on their dinner plate, while 15 per cent enjoyed five or more different types.
Women were more likely to reach for an apple or carrot, with 41 per cent ate five or more servings of fresh produce a day. Only 27 per cent of men did the same.
When a snack attack hits, 78 per cent of Kiwis pick fruit and vegetables to nibble on.
