Which is better for you?
My parents have led me to believe that fresh fruits have a higher nutritional value.
Rebellious as I am I decided to go against them. What´s the straight dope on this one?
I want to say fresh is better but the fact is, most of the fresh fruit I get was picked almost green and then shipped across the country or from South America. The idea being that it will ripen enroute. Canned fruit can be picked at its peak and then canned immediately. So sometimes canned or frozen fruit can be better tasting then “fresh” fruit, depending on how it is used.
Does your canned fruit have added sugars?
FWIW, vegetables are more important than fruit.
