Very true, I only use the ones in syrup as the fruit juice ones are also very high in salicylates cause the the skins are made into juice. Watties usually has the softest fruit in their cans & I"ve also had good luck with SPC. Budget is very hit & miss.

I rinse the excess syrup off the pears we use. ]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 20:03:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33444&PID=1031211&title=real-fruit-vs-tin-fruit#1031211 <![CDATA[Real fruit vs Tin fruit : tinned fruit is great, esp when...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33444&PID=1030834&title=real-fruit-vs-tin-fruit#1030834 Author: My3Sons

tinned fruit is great, esp when things are out of season and cost a fortune!  My boys love fruit salad with their breakfast sometimes  I'd go with it while she is eating it

yea id have no prob with it. mack used to choke easy so he gets some stuff tinned cos it means i dont have to pre cook it and it stores heaps better. check the ingredients list at the back cos they are ordered in quantity. if there is sugar in it or something other than pure fruit or like addititives close to the top of the list then maybe look at another brand :)]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 14:21:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33444&PID=1030626&title=real-fruit-vs-tin-fruit#1030626 <![CDATA[Real fruit vs Tin fruit : Thank you everyone!

Nope nothing wrong with tinned fruit, it also tends to be canned not long after picking so could be argued its better than 'fresh' fruit that has been sitting in a coolstore for months.

Tinned fruit today is like bottling, what our Grandmas & Mothers did yesteryear.

I think that the tinned fruit will have been cooked right? But I don't think the cooking process would have made too much of a difference to the goodness of the fruit and as long as not the syrup fruit then there won't be any extra sugar or anything.

Oh and cooked I mean only lightly cooked, can't remember the name...]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 11:24:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33444&PID=1030308&title=real-fruit-vs-tin-fruit#1030308 <![CDATA[Real fruit vs Tin fruit : I think that the tinned fruit...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33444&PID=1030306&title=real-fruit-vs-tin-fruit#1030306 Author: Nutella

Nah I don't reckon. Jake eats tons of tinned fruit.

Kylah will not eat real fruit, only bananas and mangoes, but she will eat anything out of a tin. I only buy the fruit juice stuff, but some fruit is better than no fruit right?

Is tinned fruit bad for her?]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 11:16:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33444&PID=1030277&title=real-fruit-vs-tin-fruit#1030277
