Guide To Common Portion And Serving Size From The Fruit Group
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.
In general, here are the servings of fruit foods that count as 1 cup:
-
1 medium size piece of fruit
-
1/2 cup of dried fruit
-
8 ounces of 100% fruit juice
