Question

one serving (1 cup) from the fruits group is equal to 1 cup of fruit, 1 cup of 100% fruit juice, or 1/2 cup of dried fruit. why is the serving size for dried fruit smaller than the serving size for other forms of fruit? multiple choice dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories. drying of fruit increases its nutrient content. dried fruit is lower in nutrients than fresh, whole fruit. dried fruit has higher satiety value than other forms of fruit.

Explanation:

Dried fruit has water removed, concentrating calories. So, a smaller serving size is recommended to control calorie - intake compared to fresh fruit or juice. Drying doesn't necessarily increase nutrient content overall (some nutrients may be lost during the process), it's not lower in nutrients in a concentrated sense, and it doesn't have a higher satiety value compared to fresh fruit in terms of volume - to - satiety ratio.

Answer:

A. Dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories.
