Data Description & Source
Description: Percent of NC adults who ate 5 or more fruits and vegetables per day. This question is included in the survey every two years. See note of caution about comparing data prior to 2011.
NOTE: Beginning in 2011 the question included consumption of beans. Also, the data by county is no longer available beginning in 2014 and therefore, it is not displayed on this graph.

CAUTION: Due to changes in weighting methodology and other factors, results prior to 2011 are not comparable. Use caution when reviewing the year-to-year data on this graph.
