Pre-Packaged Fruit & Vegetables: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Pre-Packaged Fruit & Vegetables includes convenient options like pre-washed greens, cut fruit, and vegetable blends. These products offer an easy way to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet, which are important sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. When choosing pre-packaged items, check the Nutrition Facts label. For fruit products, look for those with no added sugars. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting added sugars. For all products, check the sodium content; the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 mg daily. Most pre-packaged fruits and vegetables are naturally low in sodium. On the ingredient list, prioritize products where fruits and vegetables are the main ingredients. Be mindful of added sauces, dressings, or syrups, which can contribute extra sodium, added sugars, or saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) suggest keeping saturated fat intake under 10% of daily calories. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
