What’s the recommended daily fruit portion?
It is recommended that we eat five different portions of fruit and vegetables a day. A recommended portion is the equivalent of 80g of fresh fruit or vegetables. As fresh fruit contains a lot of water, the amount of dried fruit per portion is a lot less than 80g. For example one heaped teaspoon (approximately 30g) of raisins or sultanas, or three whole dried apricots, are all equal to one of your five-a-day requirements. To understand more detailed portion sizes, see our “Guide to smart snacking. 5-a-day portion chart”.
