Is canned fruit healthy or not?
It’s as easy as it gets: fruit from a can. You don’t have to buy large pieces of fruit, peel them and cut them into pieces, and it can be kept much longer than fresh fruit. But how healthy truly is canned fruit, and do you really get anything from it? Does canned fruit contain just as many vitamins as fresh fruit, or do vitamins dissolve by canning fruit?
Is canned fruit just as healthy as fresh fruit?
Fruit
Fruit is healthy, we all know that. It contains many vitamins and it’s usually low in calories. Moreover, fruit contains lots of healthy dietary fibres that boost your digestion. It is recommended to consume 200 grams fruit each day, which is roughly the same as two pieces of fruit. Because of all the healthy vitamins, consuming fruits lowers the risk of diseases like diabetes and cancer. The emphasis is on fresh fruit and not on smoothies or juices. Why is that?
