Fruits are not advisable to take one hour pre or post meal. Better to have a single variety of fruit at a time and don’t mix many varieties for a better digestion and Absorption. Avoid taking fruits in the evening after 5:00pm. Including different varieties each day helps in gaining unique range of nutrients.

Fruits are always to be taken empty stomach... So, you can either take them empty stomach or as a mid morning snack... Advised to avoid post 5pm... And do not mix fruits with food for better absorption.
