Is canned fruit bad for you?

my mother made this delicious fruit salad, but it's made with canned mixed fruit, ( sure you can also make it with fresh fruit, but it goes bad faster and who has time to finely dice all the fruit now days) I'm not sure what it was canned it but the fruit is really juicy. I know it isn't cheesecake bad but is there any nutritional value at all?

Is canned fruit bad for you?
Yes, it is true fresh fruit is better, but canned fruit is a good alternative when fresh is not available. The only real problem with it is the high sugar content when it is packaged in heavy syrup, but canned fruit is better than none at all.
Reply:canned product is full of perservatives and sugar is no good for u u shpuld stick to natural fruits ther no nutritional value in canned at all
Reply:Canned fruit is good for you, as long as you buy the kind packed in fruit juice, not heavy syrup. Yes, there is nutritional value in it.
Reply:No, it's just made out to be.
Reply:it's not bad for you unless the can says sugar is a key ingredient or that its expired...
Reply:Sort of, becoz canned fruits contain more sugar than fresh fruits as they are submerged in a can of sweet syrup to perserve them longer. (thats why they are really juicy!)





Eating too much sugar is fattening and isn't good for health, but eating canned fruits once in a while wouldn't hurt much. If you want to know whether there is any nutritional value in canned fruits then look for the nutrition info on the can label.





All in all, it is advised that you should eat more fresh fruits as they are a natural and healthier alternative than canned fruits.
Reply:Yes, I believe there is still nutritional value even tho it is canned.
Reply:canned fruit can be bad if it is badly canned
Reply:If you look Specifically you will see that the can of fruit might contain Preservatives,Artificial colour etc........That you know is bad for you. But because if you can't afford to buy fresh fruit(Don't worry I'm not saying your poor....The fruit these days are very expensive!)You will have to buy can fruit anyway.........but these caned fruit have added more sugar ...........etc than you think. So you should tell your mother to buy fresh fruit instead of canned.But even if it goes off quick you should instead keep it in the fridge it keeps the food on for longer!!


Good Luck!! And you should be grateful that you have such a lovely mother that makes you so yummy stuff. Thank God for it(If you are religious)
Reply:No Canned fruit is not bad for you/ If they were don't you think the company would be sued by now? and if you want to be sure you should read the labels and the ingredients. And if there is a bubble thing inside of the can (a bulge) then don't buy it! Its contaminated with something.
Reply:It is not bad for you in the sense that it will make you sick. Also it has some nutritional value but not as much as fresh fruit.


However like any canned food it is filled with sugar, salt, cyclemates, and many preservatives that are filled with all kinds of bad chemicals. They will not kill you but over the long haul they will increase your chances of high blood pressure and weight gain etc.


Try to control their consumption. If you decide to "pig out" occasionally, you can always run around the block a few times to counter this.
Reply:While a lot of canned fruit is packed in sugar syrup, making it very high in calories, many are also available without any added sugar. They're located right near the sugar syrup packed kind at the grocers and are better health-wise.
Reply:canned fruit has a much higher sugar content than fresh.it has less nutrients,as they will be lost during the canning process.but canned fruit is still fruit,and better than not eating fruit at all.
