Daily fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption in black men is low and has remained relatively unchanged over the past 20 years. To examine awareness of FV recommendations promoted by federal agencies and correlates of FV consumption among an urban and mostly immigrant population of adult black men. A cross-sectional study analyzing baseline data (n = 490) from a randomized controlled trial. A large healthcare worker’s union. Knowledge, perceived benefits, stage of readiness, perceived barriers, and daily servings of FV intake. One-way analysis of variance and t-tests were used to compare FV intake across main study variables. Regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of FV intake. FV intake was low (mean: 3 servings/day). Ninety-four percent were not aware that men should consume at least 9 servings of FVs daily and 59.8% were not aware that eating a colorful variety is important. In contrast, over half (54.7%) were aware that a single serving is equal to about a handful; 94.1% correctly reported FVs as an important source of fiber; 79.6% correctly reported vitamin pills were not a substitute for eating FVs; and 94.5% recognized that there are health benefits to eating FVs, although identification of specific benefits was minimal. In regression analysis, a greater level of FV consumption was significantly associated with greater knowledge of FV recommendations, lower perceived barriers, and a more advanced stage of change (action versus contemplation/preparation). Perceived health benefits were not associated with FV consumption. There is a lack of awareness of the current FV recommendations. Further, men reported FV intakes that were far below national recommendations. Greater efforts are needed to help urban and primarily immigrant black men to realize the importance of and recommendations for FV consumption.
