What are healthy ways to eat fruits?

• Eat fruits raw or cooked, as juice with no sugar added, canned in their own juice, or dried.
• Buy smaller pieces of fruit.
• Choose pieces of fruit more often than fruit juice. Whole fruit is more filling and has more
  fiber.
• Save high-sugar and high-fat fruit desserts such as peach cobbler or cherry pie for special
  occasions.
