Canned Fruit Cocktail
Canned fruit cocktail is a mixture of various fruits (peaches, pears, pineapples, grapes, and cherries) packed in syrup. It is a convenient, easy-to-use canned fruit option that can be enjoyed as a snack or used as a topping for desserts. While it can be a good source of vitamins and minerals, it is often high in added sugar and calories, so it is important to check labels and consume in moderation.One cup (237 ml) of canned fruit cocktail typically contains 100-120 calories, 25-30 grams of carbohydrates, 1-2 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein. It also provides various vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and calcium. However, many canned fruit cocktails contain added sugars, often in the form of high fructose corn syrup. It is recommended to choose canned fruit cocktails that are packed in 100% unsweetened fruit juice or water instead to minimize added sugar intake.
