The Dutch are increasingly consciously opting for fruit, yet 77 percent of the Dutch do not seem to get the recommended two pieces of fruit a day. This is apparent from a study by Peil.nl and Hero Fruit2day into the perception of fruit among the Dutch.
The main reason why 63 percent of the Dutch eat fruit is because it is good for them and fruit contains essential nutrients † This is an increase compared to 2005, when 42 percent of the Dutch indicated this reason in a comparable survey.
65 percent of those surveyed said they eat fruit because they like it † That is a doubling compared to 2005. From this we can conclude that in the past five years the Dutch have become more aware of the positive effect of fruit .
