During the times of the Polish People’s Republic canned fruit They were a real rarity that could only be purchased in pewexes. Nowadays, they can be bought in almost every store. Fruits in syrup such as peaches, pears, plums, mandarins, apricots, pineapples, strawberries and raspberries are available. You can also often find various mixes of these fruits.
Canned fruit can be used for various desserts. They are used, among others, to prepare cakes or cakes. Fruits in sweet syrup are a component of cocktails or compotes. They are also added to ice cream or waffles.
It should be noted that canned fruit should be consumed in moderation. The products contain large amounts of sugar. This is primarily due to the presence of caloric glucose-fructose syrup, which we can often come across by reading the composition of these fruits. Eating syrup can contribute to the development of overweight and obesity, which results in hypertension, liver fatty or type 2 diabetes.
Therefore, canned fruit – consumed in excess – can be harmful to the body. It is worth noting, however, that in the case of a healthy person, a moderate amount of fruit (also eaten sporadically) should not hurt.

It is worth knowing, however, that fresh fruit has more valuable nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. This is due to the fact that – unlike canned fruit – they are not undergoing thermal treatment, which can reduce the amount of these ingredients.
It should be noted that some imported fruit (especially those from distant countries), however, may contain more preservatives that extend their freshness. For this reason, before consuming these products, they should be thoroughly washed under running, hot water.
