A realistic, non-restrictive way to begin, with simple swaps and a sample weekly approach.
Read the guide30 plants. One healthier habit.
Eating a wider variety doesn't have to mean counting calories or following a restrictive diet. Discover plant foods, track your weekly progress, and learn about the fibers and plant compounds in what you eat.
Just tap the plants you ate today. It takes about 30 seconds. No measuring, no calorie counting — just a quick record of the variety on your plate.
Browse a catalog of over 500 plants — fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices. You'll probably find a few you've never tried.
See your weekly diversity score climb. Thirty is a simple, motivating target for exploring a wider range of plant foods—not a medical threshold.
The 30-plant challenge
The idea is simple: notice how many different plant foods you eat during a week, then look for enjoyable ways to add variety. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds all count in 30Plants; herbs and spices contribute quarter-points.

Explore the scienceWhat You'll Learn
Every plant in the catalog comes with real information — the fibers it contains, the compounds it brings, the microbes it supports, and how it compares to supplements. I wanted this to feel like having a knowledgeable friend explain your food to you.
See which fibers each plant contains — beta-glucan in oats, inulin in garlic, pectin in apples. Different fibers feed different communities of gut bacteria, and 30Plants shows you exactly what you're getting.
Beyond fiber, plants are loaded with polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids. 30Plants surfaces these so you can see which bioactive compounds your weekly diet is actually covering.
The catalog maps foods to the beneficial microbes they tend to support — like Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Akkermansia. Eat with intention, not guesswork.
Curious how a food stacks up against a supplement? The app helps you understand where whole foods deliver nutrients you might otherwise reach for in a bottle — naturally and deliciously.
Fiber, compound, and microbe associations are based on general nutritional research. 30Plants does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition.
Every unique plant counts once toward your weekly goal. No weighing or portions — just beautiful simplicity. Did you eat it this week? Tap it. Done.
Herbs, spices, and olive oil earn quarter-points. The app handles all the math automatically, so you never have to think about it.
Search over 500 plants. Tap any one to learn about its fibers, compounds, and which gut microbes it supports. It's genuinely fun to explore.
Track your current streaks and weekly trends. Seeing your week-to-week numbers grow is incredibly motivating — trust me.

Send Us a MessageEach distinct plant you eat counts once toward your weekly goal. Eat an apple on Monday — that's 1 point. Eat another apple on Thursday — still 1 point total for the week. The goal is variety, not volume.
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds each count as 1 full point. Herbs, spices, coffee, tea, and extra virgin olive oil count as 0.25 points each — because they still contribute. Refined grains and heavily processed foods generally don't count.
