Fruit and Vegetable - Any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the Fruit Group.
Fruits may be fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, and may be whole, cut-up, or pureed. Any
vegetable or 100% vegetable juice counts as a member of the Vegetable Group. Vegetables
may be raw or cooked; fresh, frozen, canned, or dried/dehydrated; and may be whole, cut-
up, or mashed. Vegetables are organized into 5 subgroups, based on their nutrient content.
o EX: Dishes that accompany a main dish (salads, relish trays, cooked fruits and vegetables)
