HOW MUCH TO CONSUME
For fresh fruit, load up! The natural sugar in fruit is balanced by its water and fiber content. The water/fiber content will also provide a feeling of fullness. Go organic for fresh fruit with soft skin. Go conventional with fresh fruit with hard skin.
For dried fruit, limit consumption to one handful and go organic. Dried fruit is a good source of iron.
