Fatty Fruit
Most fruits contain no fat or very small amounts of fats. No fruits contain cholesterol, and even fat-containing fruits fit into a healthy diet. You should try to get at least nine servings, or about 4½ cups, of fruits and vegetables every day, according to the Harvard School of Public Health.
