How much should I eat from the Fruits Group?

• 1 medium apple, banana, orange or pear
• 2 small apricots, kiwi fruits or plums
• 1 cup diced or canned fruit (no added sugar)

Or only occasionally:

• 125ml (½ cup) fruit juice (no added sugar)
• 30g dried fruit (for example, 4 dried apricot halves, 1½ tablespoons of sultanas)
   

Eating dried fruit regularly, is not recommended as it is high in kilojoules, can stick to the teeth and increases the risk of dental decay. Also, you can easily eat more than you realise! 

Fruit juice should only be drunk occasionally as it is acidic and can increase the risk of dental erosion.  Fruit juice also has less fibre and other healthy nutrients than the whole fruit provides.
