Does fruit in jelly count as a portion of fruit and veg?
Fruit in jelly can count towards the five portions of fruit
and veg we should try to eat each day. To count as one portion, you need
to include enough fruit in each serving, for example:
2 satsumas, plums or apricots
1 handful of grapes, cherries or berries
1 banana
2 to 3 tablespoons of fruit salad
2 to 3 tablespoons of tinned peaches, pineapple or other tinned fruit
Setting
fruit in jelly can be a good way to encourage children to eat more
fruit. Fresh, frozen and tinned fruit all count towards their daily
portions. Try to use reduced-sugar jellies when you can.

Yes, carrots do contain some calcium, but there are much better sources of this mineral. A glass of carrot juice (150ml) would typically contain about 24 milligrams of calcium (when no water or other juices are added).
A glass of carrot juice counts as one portion of fruit and veg. We should all be aiming to have at least five portions of a variety of fruit and veg a day, to benefit our health. But remember, fruit or vegetable juice counts as just one portion a day, however much you drink.
The richest vegetable sources of calcium are curly kale, okra, horseradish and watercress. You can also get significant amounts from red kidney beans, soya beans, petit pois, broccoli, cabbage, celery and parsnips.
Other good sources of calcium include milk and dairy products, canned sardines and salmon (when the bones are eaten), sultanas bread and tofu. You can buy calcium-enriched soya drinks, and some breakfast cereals contain added calcium too.
Calcium is essential for building healthy bones and teeth. It is needed for muscles (including the heart muscle) to contract and relax properly, and for nerves to work well. It is also vital for normal clotting of the blood.

Do olives count towards the five portions of fruit and veg we should eat each day?
All types of fruit and vegetables, whether they are fresh, chilled, frozen, canned, bottled or dried, count towards our daily portions.
A portion is about 80 grams of fruit or vegetables - when you've removed all the bits you can't eat such as inedible peel or stones.
Olives are the fruit of the olive tree and contain fibre as well as some vitamins and minerals. However, because olives are quite small and weigh very little, you would need to eat about 30 olives to get a portion!
It's better to eat olives in small quantities because they are generally high in salt. And we should all avoid eating too much salt. This is because salt contains sodium, and having too much sodium can increase the risk of high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
So olives can count towards a portion. For example, you could eat a few olives as part of a dessert-sized bowl of mixed salad - together this counts as one portion. Or if you eat them as part of a pizza topping with two to three tablespoonfuls of vegetables - such as mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes - this would count as a portion too.
