we should eat several times
from this food group each day.

Many, like apples

and pears ,

grow on trees.

We often use ladders
to pick fruit from these.

a group of such trees
in a cluster or line.

T a n g e r i n e s ,

a

grapefruit

or

cherry

these are a few
of the fruits that trees carry.

While trees produce
plenty of peaches
and plums

they do not grow pineapples
prickling our thumbs!

Unlike a fish,

there is no need to hook them.

Just pick them
or buy them,

then wash them and

eat em.

Unlike lots of veggies,
you dont have to heat em!

The grape is a fruit
that is grown on a vine,

The kiwi ,

another vine fruit,

is quite yummy.

are a treat for your tummy.

A fruit when its squeezed
will quite often produce

a fresh and delicious
and succulent juice.

Some, like orange , mango ,

and make you grow stronger
with each sip or gulp.

For fruit high in fiber,
you may want to try a

raspberry ,

blackberry ,

even papaya !

A

And plums that are dried

yield something thats neat:

a fruit called
a prune
that is chewy
and sweet.

Bakers use fruits
for desserts we can buy

like an apricot , pear ,

or a

blueberry

pie.
