What's a portion?

1st off, there will be a lot of confusion between what the NHS consider as a portion and what a mylocal5aday portion is.

The NHS portion relates to their 5 a day healthy eating initiative.

There are full details of what counts as one of your 5 a day here.

And you can get details of the NHS 5 a day portion sizes here.

The mylocal5aday portions relates to how many of each item you are buying.

When you are picking the items for your weekly box or just adding extra items, you will see from the name of the item that it tells you what it is and how much you are getting.

So, for example the item "Potatoes - King Edward - 1.5Kg" means you get a 1.5kg portion of Potatoes. If you enter a qty of 2 for this item you will get 2 x 1.5kg portions of potatoes.

If you are unclear of what you are buying, please get in touch.
