Fruit cocktail, canned in juice, whole contents

Fruit cocktail canned in juice is a mixture of fruit pieces preserved in fruit juice. These figures describe the whole contents, including both the fruit and the juice, rather than the drained fruit alone. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 12g per 100g, all of which is sugars. It also provides 14mg of vitamin C and 0.4g of protein per 100g, while fat is present only in trace amounts.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugars in the fruit and juice are worth noting when monitoring sugar intake. Draining the fruit changes the balance of fruit and juice, so these figures do not describe drained fruit. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
