There are many different varieties of nuts and beans are available like [b]kidney, black bean, soya haricot and butter beans, lentils and chickpeas [/b]but they will only count as a portion of fruit and vegetables once a day.

They are rich in protein, carbohydrate and fibre, and low in fat, which is mostly of the unsaturated kind. They are also important sources of some B vitamins.
