Is it okay if my 5 A Day is mostly fruit?

Answer

With only 1 in 10 Americans eating enough fruits and vegetables the short answer is yes, it is totally okay. We can all do a better job of enjoying more fruits and vegetables daily, so even if your five produce items are mainly fruit the fact that you’re consuming produce on a daily basis is great! Fruits and vegetables both provide our bodies with fiber, as well as important vitamins and minerals. Both fruits and vegetables are pretty similar in the amounts of those key nutrients that they provide. There are some differences in calories and sugar amounts between fruits and vegetables, but they are all equally important to include in your daily routine. So, keep enjoying your fruit and experiment with familiar and new recipes to continue to add more vegetables to your day.
