Prepackaged fruit
There are all kinds of prepackaged fruits in the shops. Cans, jars, but also plastic containers. These plastic containers can be found in the fridge and contain pieces of fresh fruit. The plastic isn’t good for the environment, but the fruit inside is just as healthy for us as other fresh fruit. The only additive to these containers is some lemon juice to keep the fruit looking fresh.
Canned fruit
Many people, including us, are under the impression that eating canned or dried fruit is just as healthy as eating fresh fruit. Sure, some of the nutrients might be lost during the canning process, but there are still loads of them left, right? Turns out, that’s not true at all, because canned fruit preserves are a lot less healthy than you might think! We hate to disappoint you (and ourselves), but more often than not, large amounts of sugar are added to canned fruit.
Not only the sugar contents are worrisome, have you ever realised how they make canned fruit look so clean? Go on to the next page to find out the truth.
