All about Fruits
Fruits grow from the flowers of plants and contain seeds, which is how the plant spreads its offspring. Fruits are full of vitamins, minerals, fibre and natural sugars. Apples, bananas, berries and oranges are popular examples.
Eating a variety of colourful fruits gives you a range of nutrients. Whole fruit is better than juice, because it contains fibre and is less sugary. Aim for at least a couple of portions of fruit every day.
