Healthy snacking guide

New bite-sized ideas to give you more of the nutrients you need

Reach your 5-a-day: fruit and veg

The more varied your fruit and veg choices are, the wider the range of benefits your body will be getting. So rather than grabbing another apple, try something new to reach that goal

Feel less tired: B12

We need to get this essential vitamin from food because our body can’t make it. It's important for keeping the nervous system healthy, but also helps you get energy from food and reduces tiredness

Fuller for longer: fibre

Higher-fibre foods are great for digestion and can also help you feel fuller for longer. Fibre is most abundant in plant-based foods.

Growth and repair: protein

Protein is found in every cell in the human body and is vital for growth and repair. Getting protein from a variety of sources is important, so try plant based food like chickpeas and brocolli.

Support your bones: calcium

Actually, calcium does more than keep your bones strong: it also helps your heart, muscles and nerves to function properly

Get the lowdown on tomatoes

Learn about the different varieties of this British summer favourite and how to use them

Sundried

These tomatoes are halved and dried in the sun to give a strong, sweet taste. They’re usually stored in oil to preserve them. Try adding to bread dough and salads.

Tinned tomatoes

These tomatoes are picked at their best and stored in their own juices, sometimes with added flavours. Try in pasta sauces, chillies and curries.

Piccobella

Sweet but not sugary thanks to their high acidity, Piccobella tomatoes are crisp, firm and aromatic - the quintessential cherry tomato. Try raw in summer salads.

Tomato puree

Tomatoes are cooked, sieved, then cooked again for this thick paste. Its intense flavour means you only need a little. Try frying it off at the start of dishes to caramelise.

Mini San Marzano

Longer than most plum tomatoes, San Marzano are favoured by chefs for their intensity and balanced acidity. Try using to make rich sauces for pizza or shakshuka.

Pink temptation

These tomatoes get their name from the glossy pink blush of their skin. Their subtle, aromatic flavour makes them so versatile. Try thickly slicing and adding to burgers.
