Tbh this seems pretty easy to me as apparently individual spices count as a plant, as do wholegrains, and nuts, but I love veg so maybe a bit biased lol

Tea and coffee count as plants, right?

Wait, spices count? That makes it trivial, a decent curry can include about half your weekly plants.

30 plants a week is actually *less* than 5 a day, which would be 35
