What canned fruit is delicious? How is canned fruit made?

In summer, people don’t have much appetite for food. They like to eat something that can cool them down, such as canned food, mustard tuber, konjac, etc. They are high in fiber, taste good, and have a lot of fat. Isn’t that good? Generally speaking, the preservatives added to canned food have been tested to be non-toxic to the human body, and it is relatively safe to eat in small amounts for a short period of time.

What canned fruit is delicious?

Canned fruit in syrup. Generally, there are canned yellow peach in syrup, canned orange, canned loquat, canned grape, etc. Things to note when buying canned fruit:

1. First, check whether the outer packaging is neat and clean, and whether the words are clearly printed. Secondly, pay attention to the production time and shelf life, and whether the food label contains important information such as the company's name.

2. When choosing products packaged in metal cans, do not buy products with rust on the outer wall or lid of the metal can due to corrosion.

3. Do not purchase products whose packaging appearance has changed.

4. Distinguish between canned food in syrup and canned food in syrup. The concentration of syrup in canned food in syrup is generally around 15%, which is suitable for direct consumption.

5. Purchase on large e-commerce platforms or shopping malls.

6. After opening the lid, try to finish it all at once. If you can't finish it, you can store it in the refrigerator, but it should not be stored for too long.

How are canned fruits made?

1. Wash the peaches, then use a peeler to peel off the skin and soak them in light salt water to prevent oxidation of the peach flesh.

2. After peeling all the peaches, use a knife to cut them into pieces of any size you like. I usually cut one peach into 6 pieces, and 8 pieces for the larger ones. The flesh and core of the golden peach are not connected, so they are easy to separate.

3. Put the cut peaches in a glass bowl, and spread a layer of rock sugar on the bottom, or two layers of peaches and a layer of rock sugar, and be sure to put a layer of rock sugar on the top. Here I used two methods, one is to put a large glass basin into a steamer and steam it, the other is to put the peaches into a glass bottle, put fine sugar on the top, add 80% pure water, and steam it in a steam oven. After the two methods are done, there is no difference in the taste of the peaches. The white sugar melts faster and is more flavorful, and the rock sugar needs to be left for a few days for better taste.

4. Put the glass basin into the steamer, cover it with a lid, and steam for 15 minutes to melt the rock sugar. If you like to eat it soft, you can steam it for a few minutes longer. I like it slightly softer, so 15 minutes is enough. There is not much difference between adding water and not adding water. Without water, the soup is sweeter and the steaming time needs to be longer. If you add water, you can steam it for 15 minutes. If you like to drink soup, just add water. Drinking soup can also promote salivation and moisturize the skin.

5. After steaming, immediately put the peaches into a sterilized glass bottle, cover it with a lid and place it upside down. Observe whether it leaks juice. If it leaks juice, eat it as soon as possible, otherwise the shelf life will be short. If it does not leak, it can be stored for a year. Steamed peaches taste better than boiled peaches. Boiled peaches are a bit soft and mushy. I prefer steamed peaches, which are meaty and crispy.

6. For steam oven preparation, first put the cut peaches into a glass bottle, add a layer of sugar and a layer of peaches, then add purified water until the bottle is 80% full.

7. Put the golden peaches in the glass bottle into the oven, turn on the pure steaming mode, steam at 100 degrees for 15 minutes, simmer for 5 minutes, and immediately close the lid and turn it upside down after taking it out of the oven.

8. After the glass bottles have cooled completely, turn them over and put the cans in the refrigerator for better taste.

9. The delicious canned yellow peaches are ready. I like to refrigerate them before eating. It’s so refreshing.

Is it bad to eat canned fruit?

1. Loss of vitamins. After canning, the loss of vitamin C is about 10%-60%, vitamin B1 is 20%-80%, vitamin B2 and vitamin PP are less than 10%, pantothenic acid is 20%-30%, and vitamin A is 15%-20%.

2. Contains additives. Additives are added to canned food to make it taste better. During the processing, additives added to canned food include spices, pigments, artificial flavorings, etc., which are harmful to children.

3. Contains preservatives. In order to extend the shelf life, canned foods are added with commonly used preservatives such as benzoic acid during the production process. Generally speaking, the preservatives added to canned foods have been tested to be non-toxic to the human body, and a small amount of short-term consumption is relatively safe. However, frequent consumption can damage the liver and kidneys.
