Choose from a rainbow of colours of seasonal fruit. Depending on the type of fruit, you can serve whole (e.g. apples and plums) or cut into bite size pieces (easier for younger children to eat) or mix fruit together to make up a fruit salad. Make sure that any fruit that is eaten with the peel on is washed thoroughly before eating.
Apples (green and red)
Apricots
Bananas (On hot days bananas don’t keep too well in a lunchbox. You could try cutting into slices and drizzling on some lemon juice to keep them from going brown.)
Blueberries
Figs
Fresh cherries
Granadilla (passion fruit)
Grapes (green or purple)
Mangos
Naartjies (satsuma)
Nectarines
Oranges
Peaches
Pears
Plumbs
Strawberries
Sliced kiwi fruit
Bite size pieces of watermelon
