Solution (By Examveda Team)

According to ICMR, the daily requirement of vegetables per capita per day is 300 gm.
The plate, designed by the ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition, recommends sourcing macronutrients and micronutrients from a minimum of 8 food groups per day with vegetables, fruits and green leafy vegetables forming essentially half the plate of the recommended foods per day.
Leafy green vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. They're packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre but low in calories. Eating a diet rich in leafy greens can offer numerous health benefits including reduced risk of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and mental decline.
