Packaged Fruits

All fruits have their own natural sugars. Nevertheless, some fruit in cans is peeled and preserved in sweet syrup. This processing depletes the fruit of its fiber and basically turns what should be a nutritious snack into a dessert.

Even fruit sauce, canned peaches, and fruit cocktails may include sugar. For whole, chopped, and diced fruit, it frequently takes the form of a sweet syrup; for fruit that has been pureed, like applesauce, it may take any form of additional sweetness, such as cane sugar or fruit juice concentrate. Although most other nutrients are well preserved, the canning process can potentially damage heat-sensitive vitamin C. Best fruit is fresh, whole fruit. Choose fruit that has been canned in juice rather than syrup if you want to consume canned fruit.
