I recommend you print this out! Looks nice doesn't it?! I found it on the BBC website... www.bbc.co.uk (http://www.bbc.co.uk) However... I editted it. :P

i would sugest:

dont use banana with the skin on, peel them, they are the worst at holding pesticides in the skin and its really hard to wash out!

also, with the apricots, (as all pitted fruits) make sure you dont use flesh that sits next to the stone

finally, kiwi are fine, peel them, they are a good source of potassium and ascorbic acid

other than that, chow down! :)
