They're packed in juice and I just drain them.

The other ones are in syrup.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Del-Monte-Fruit-Cocktail-Artificially/dp/B0045GCTP4" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Del-Monte-Fruit-Cocktail-Artificially/dp/B0045GCTP4</a></p> <p>The Trader Joe's ingredient list looks a lot better since they use juice. I'd probably look for the ones that are packed in juice. The Dole ones also have ones packed in juice.</p> <p>If you're not impressed with the current fresh fruit selection, what if you cut up the fresh fruit and added some juice to it? I'm not sure if it makes it more/less cost effective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565256 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 21:09:29 +0000 Madison43 1565256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Del Monte has fruit cups packed in water, or at least with no sugar added. l haven't bought them in a while, but I used to pack them in my lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565223 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:39:14 +0000 mrs. bird 1565223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: trader joes! Their peaches packed in white grape juice are so yummy!</p> <p>ETA: and they're in glass jars so you don't have to worry about BPA lining cans :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565217 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:35:22 +0000 blackbird 1565217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Del Monte fruit cups in 100% fruit juice. The ones in the fridge are some antioxidant one--fruit in mango juice or something. It's not like she's going to drink all the fruit juice. She won't eat the giant chunks of it, but she will eat it when I cut it into smaller pieces or if i put it on a fork for her. I don't know what her obsession is with eating off mama's fork.</p> <p>also trader joe's has these maine wild blueberries--they're much smaller and sweeter than other blueberries. I microwaved them for 20 seconds and she ate a ton of them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565214 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:33:18 +0000 JerricaBenton 1565214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I don't usually like frozen berries but I've been enjoying the mangoes and cherries myself with my yogurt. Their texture is pretty good to me but maybe not after a few hours for a packed lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565211 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:30:51 +0000 Smurfette 1565211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I haven't been impressed with anything lately.<br /> Do you get ones in water or light syrup?<br /> @JerricaBenton: I have tried frozen and she has no interest. I don't blame her, they are mushy to me. I don't like them either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565208 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:28:29 +0000 JerricaBenton 1565208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love fresh fruit but I also like LO to have a variety. I get some frozen organic fruit to have on hand. She loves mango and cherries. You could pack them right from the freezer in a bag or container. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565196 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:25:18 +0000 googly-eyes 1565196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've bought the fruit cups at target. I look for the no sugar added, packed in water (not syrup/juice) but lo has honestly had all of them. It was good for when she didn't really have molars/teeth around 1 y/o. Once she started chewing better we found it cheaper to buy fresh fruits. You could also just steam fruits, which we also did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565192 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:23:28 +0000 blackbird 1565192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They sell little cups of fruit in juice that I keep on hand. Fresh fruit tastes like crap right now and is expensive </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565187 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:20:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1565187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I just buy fresh fruit. If you eat fruits too it should go pretty quickly. Or freeze leftovers or juice them.</p> <p>ETA: I do buy frozen blueberries for her because fresh is too expensive especially in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-cannedpackaged-fruit-for-lo#post-1565184 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 20:19:16 +0000 Smurfette 1565184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is starting to eat some fruit (peaches, pears, pineapple, and mandarin oranges) at school finally! I was going to get some to keep on hand at home. What kind is best? I know most are in syrup and I don't want the sugar if I can avoid it. </p>
