While I suppose it is none of my business, I'm curious enough to ask the
reason for your questions. Why would you want to know about limiting to
vegetables? I could picture it for a science fiction story where the
survivors on a planet have room in the space ship for only 5 packets of
seeds and then get strange symptoms that turn out to be overdoses of
vitamin A or something like that but can't picture a limit to 5
vegetables as part of a well-balanced diet in this time and place.
