Canned fruit offers a convenient way to enjoy various fruits year-round. This category includes products like mandarin orange segments, peaches, pears, and mixed fruit, often packed in syrup, juice, or water. When choosing canned fruit, checking the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list can help you make informed decisions. Pay close attention to added sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting added sugars. Look for products labeled "no added sugar" or those packed in 100% fruit juice or water to reduce sugar intake. Canned fruit is naturally low in sodium, typically containing very little compared to the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 mg. It also provides dietary fiber, which is an important part of a balanced diet. The ingredient list will show the type of fruit and what it's packed in, helping you identify simpler options. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
