Answer
False.While fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, they don't contain *every* essential nutrient. They are notably low in complete proteins and healthy fats, both of which are essential for a balanced diet. You need other food groups like grains, protein, and dairy/dairy alternatives to get all the essential nutrients.
