What is a serving of fruit/veggies?

- Gary Hewis, Glenwood Landing, NY

Carol A. Savage, M.S., R.D., Registered Dietitian, Mother of Two, says:

Use the Food Pyramid Guide to help guide you to the best portion sizes and nutritional mix for your child.
• A serving of fruit is: 1/2 cup-chopped, cooked or canned fruits, 1 medium apple, orange, pear etc. or 6 oz. of fruit juice.
• A serving of vegetable is: 1/2 cup-cooked or raw vegetables, 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables or 6 oz. of vegetable juice
One great way to get your kids the fruit and vegetable nutrition they need is with juice. An 8 oz glass of Juicy Juice Harvest Surprise, for example, provides a full 25% of their daily fruit and vegetable requirement.
