What is One serve of fruit?

Info and picture source: http://www.gofor2and5.com.au/article.aspx?c=1&a=5#Veg


One serve of fruit is
150 grams of fresh fruit or
1 medium-sized piece (eg. apple)
2 smaller pieces (eg apricots)
1 cup canned or chopped fruit
½ cup (125mL) 100% fruit juice
1½ tablespoon dried fruit (eg. Sultanas or 4 dried apricot halves)
Choose fresh fruit instead of fruit juice or dried fruit. Juices have lower fibre content than fresh fruit. Dried fruit, if eaten in large quantities, can contribute to tooth decay because it contains a concentrated form of sugar that stick to your teeth.
