Fruit Choice
es:
Whole Fruits:
W : Some fruitss turn brown n quickly, so they are beetter whole tthan cut up. This
in
ncludes apples, bananas, and pears. Small buncch of grapes or a handful of blueberries
are also goodd good whole e fruit choicees.
Oranges may
O y sound like aa good whole fruit, but tthey are nott. They take too much tim me
to
o peel and are messy. Itss best to pee el the orang e or cut it in
nto wedges bbefore it goees
in
nto the lunchhbox.
Dried fruits a
D re perfect fo
or the lunchb box ‐ A handdful of dried apricots, raisins, pears,
blueberries, ccherries are sweet and n neat to eat.
Cut up fruits tthat are greaat in a contaainer includee melon, wattermelon, sttrawberries,
peaches, plum ms, pineapple and manggo. Don't forrget a spoon n or fork!
Bewaare of these store‐bough
