Do they count towards daily fruit servings since they are natural? If so how many for 1 fruit serving?

    I've never had them, but I would think that they would not count. Even though they are "natural", I assume they have added sugars, etc.

    No, they are basically candy. Even if they say they are made with fruit, it's usually apple juice with all the good stuff strained out = pure sugar.

    I agree, definitely not fruit, fruit is not processed....mixed or crushed like smoothies but not that processed. The more fruits and veggies are processed the less fiber and natural nutrients remain.

    No, I personally would not count them as fruit. In my book, fruit in its natural form (from the tree, bush, etc) is fruit. If I prepare a smoothie or juice at home, then I would count that as fruit too... but crazy processed foods lose their nutrients even if they say "natural."
