Did you know that any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the Fruit Group? Fruits contain important vitamins and nutrients that the body needs to function. One such example is Vitamin C which builds up the immune system. The recommended amount of fruits for children ages 2-3 years old is 1 cup while the recommended amount for children ages 4-8 is 1 and 1/2 cups of fruit. What counts as 1 cup of fruit? According to MyPlate, “1 cup of fruit or 100% fruit juice, or ½ cup of dried fruit can be considered as 1 cup from the Fruit Group.” See more information at http://buff.ly/277qrX6.
