The Best Fresh Fruit in the EU
Europeans consume about 40% of the recommended daily amount of fruit.
This consumption varies from country to country, with the Italians being the most virtuous, consuming 64%.
All socio-economic classes eat fruit, but the poorest eat less than the richest.
In Italy, however, the opposite is true: the poorest consume more fruit than the richest.
Fruit is an important food for health as it provides vitamins, minerals and fibre so it is good to:
- eat fresh fruit as a snack or dessert;
- add fresh fruit to meals, such as yoghurt, cereals or salads;
- make smoothies or shakes with fresh fruit.
