30 Plants a Week Checklist (Free Printable PDF)
A free checklist with 105 everyday plants, grouped by type, so you can tick off each different plant you eat this week. Print it, put it on the fridge and count to 30.
How to use the checklist
- Tick each plant the first time you eat it in a week. Eating it again doesn't add another tick: the goal is variety, not portions.
- Fresh, frozen, tinned and dried all count. So do plants inside other foods, like the oats in granola or the chickpeas in hummus.
- Herbs and spices count too. Some people count them as a quarter, the plant points way; pick one rule and stick with it.
- Start on any day you like. Seven days later, count your ticks and start a new sheet.
- Missing something? Write it in the extras box. Any plant counts, not only the ones on the list.

Questions
Is the checklist free?
Yes. Download the PDF, print as many copies as you like and share it with friends. No sign-up.
Do I need 30 different plants every single week?
No. 30 is a goal to aim for, not a test. Any week with more variety than the last is a good week.
Do herbs and spices count?
Yes. Each one counts once a week. If you follow plant points, count herbs and spices as a quarter point each.
Does a red and a green apple count as two plants?
Usually different colours of the same plant count once. The Eating30 app lets you choose whether colour varieties count separately.
Rather count on your phone?
Eating30 does the counting for you: log a plant in a couple of taps, see your weekly total and which colours you've eaten. Free on iPhone and Android.
