What is a unit of Fruit and vegetables?

(NB The Government also refer to these amounts as portions)

Aim for 5 units each day

1 unit =

1 large slice of melon or pineapple
1 whole apple or banana
2 whole plums or kiwi fruits
1 cupful of raspberries or grapes
3 serving spoonfuls of stewed or canned fruit
Small wine glass of pure, unsweetened fruit juice (max 1 per day- due to the sugar content)
1 tablespoon dried fruit
2-3 tablespoons fruit salad

2-3 serving spoonfuls of vegetables (e.g. peas, carrots, broccoli)
1 small bowlful of salad

Remember you can have more than one unit as a portion.
