Servings from the fruit group are counted by cups.

For whole fruit, the servings are shown in general size.  For example, 1 medium apple counts as 1 cup serving from the fruit group.   Depending on the size of the fruit, 1 serving could be  ½ a piece of fruit or a whole fruit.

  • 1 medium size piece of fruit  fruit group serving size
  • 1/2 cup of dried fruit
  • 8 ounces of 100% fruit juice
