Top 7 Best Canned Fruits

1. Canned Peaches

Peaches are one of the most popular canned fruits, often preserved in juice or syrup. Research shows that canned peaches maintain similar levels of vitamin C and antioxidants compared to fresh peaches.

Nutritional Highlights (per 100g in juice):

• Calories: 42 kcal

• Vitamin C: 3 mg

• Fiber: 1.3 g

They are versatile for smoothies, pies, and as toppings for cereals.

Our canned yellow peaches are a classic favorite, boasting juicy flesh and a balanced sweetness and sourness. Using ripe peaches, they're kept at low temperatures to preserve their rich aroma, resulting in a clear, impurity-free syrup. Enjoy them as a snack, with yogurt, or in peach pie or fruit salad.

2. Canned Pineapples

Conclusion: While canned pineapple has lower vitamin C, it still provides significant manganese and digestive benefits.

Our canned pineapple is crisp and juicy, with a rich, sweet and sour flavor and a tropical feel. Made with ripe pineapple slices, it removes the astringency and preserves the crisp, tender texture. Besides being eaten directly, it can also be used in recipes like sweet and sour pork, pineapple rice, and pizza toppings. Its unique combination of salty and sweet flavor makes it a versatile canned good for any kitchen.

They are also hypoallergenic and often recommended for sensitive diets.

Our canned pears are soft, glutinous, and delicate, with a subtle pear aroma. The syrup is refreshingly sweet and soothing.

A tropical delicacy, canned lychees are not only delicious but also provide unique antioxidants such as polyphenols.

Nutritional Highlights (per 100g in syrup):

Canned lychees are popular in Asian desserts, cocktails, and fruit salads.

Our canned lychees are reminiscent of the lychee's sweet and tender flavor, with a firm, plump, and juicy texture. Using fresh, seasonal lychees, they preserve their unique aroma and avoid the storage issues associated with fresh fruit. Enjoy chilled in the summer, fresh or with sparkling water or Tremella fuciformis soup for a refreshing and delicious treat, making this a must-try among seasonal canned fruits.

6. Canned Mangoes

Mangoes are called the “king of fruits,” and canned mangoes ensure availability beyond the summer season.

Canned mangoes are widely used in smoothies, yogurt blends, and ice cream production.

Our canned mangoes are truly versatile. They can be enjoyed chilled directly from the can, making them a refreshing summer treat with a tropical feel. Adding them to yogurt or oatmeal bowls adds a touch of fruity flavor and texture to breakfast, making it both nutritious and delicious. They can also be used in baking, whether sandwiched between cake bases to make mango mille-feuille, adorned with mousse desserts, or mixed with cream to make mango pancakes. They can even be paired with sparkling water or coconut milk to create a stylish mango drink, recreating the taste of popular online beverage shops at home.

7. Canned Fruit Cocktail

Fruit cocktails usually include a mix of peaches, pears, grapes, pineapples, and cherries. They are a convenient way to enjoy a variety of nutrients in one jar.

Nutritional Highlights (per 100g in juice):

• Calories: 50 kcal

• Vitamin C: 8 mg

• Fiber: 1.5 g

Our canned fruit cocktails eliminate the hassle of peeling, chopping, and blending multiple fruits, making them ideal for busy weeknights, potlucks, or camping trips. The syrup (or juice) in canned fruit cocktails also adds value—use it to sweeten lemonade, flavor rice pudding, or moisten baked goods like muffins, reducing food waste.

How to Choose the Healthiest Canned Fruits

When selecting canned fruits, consider the following:

1. Juice vs. Syrup – Choose fruits packed in 100% juice or water, as heavy syrup can double sugar content.

2. Check Labels – Look for “no added sugar” or “low-sodium” labels.

3. Nutrient Preservation – Opt for brands that use advanced processing to retain vitamins.

4. Packaging Type – Glass jars and BPA-free cans are safer for long-term consumption.
