    I love fresh fruit too :smile: I used to eat both canned and fresh, but I've slowly switched over!

    Canned fruit is for 2nd graders with lazy parents. :)

    I only eat canned in 100% juice and only if I can't afford fresh

    Canned fruit is usually gross, and many times has sneaky added sugar if you don't get the right kind. No, thanks!

    I tried using canned strawberries for pancakes toppings once. Oh my god, they were some of the nastiest things I've ever tasted. Ungodly sugary but incredibly bitter from the metal can. Gross.

    Fresh fruit is a million times better than canned. Canned is always glazed in slimy, sugary crap.

    The only canned fruit I have ever eaten was pineapple and it's pretty much just fresh cut up and put in a can (easier than cutting it up myself).

    I've never understood why anyone would buy the fruit pie filling stuff. Is it that difficult to do it from scratch???

    I won't use canned fruit either. Besides my issues with the texture, most of the can linings contain BPA. And then there's the texture. LOL

    I live in the midwest, and satsumas are apparently not a thing here. It's mandarin oranges in juice for me.

    I try to buy everything else fresh whenever it's available cheaply. I used to be able to sit down and eat a bag of any kind of candy in a day or so-- pretty much all of that has been replaced with fruit now. Hooray for sugar.

    I prefer fresh fruit as well, but there are many circumstances where canned fruit has to suffice. Better canned fruit than no fruit!

    Wow, just realized that I cannot even remember the last time I had fruit from a can (I kind of forgot you could get it that way). I didn't know that was snobbery, haha.

    Canned fruit = gag. And to think, I used to wolf down Fruit Cocktail as a kid. Frozen fruit (no added sugar) is great, especially berries which are frozen at peak ripeness.

    Where can you find fruit that grows in cans?? So why eat it that way unless you have to...

    I have found that canned fruit is only good for putting in sugar free jello. Otherwise I love going to the farmers market and getting really fresh fruit. It tastes so much better.

    I love fresh fruit. I do eat the stuff that comes out of a can but it's only mandarin oranges and pineapple. Its great to have it in the cupboard for a quick and easy fix but I would always eat fresh first.

    The only canned fruit I can stomach is canned pineapple in 100% juice.. and that only if i rinse the pineapple in water after opening the can... and I will only buy it if fresh pineapple cannot be found.

    Fruit snob O.o That's cute in a way.

    I only had canned fruit once and it was canned pineapple. I don't use frozen fruits mostly because I never grew such a habit. Seasonal fruits for me all the way. I don't need to eat strawberries in winter. Same goes for vegetables.

    Um, I'm a bit perplexed that this makes you a fruit snob! Canned fruit has its place, but surely fresh is more desirable for its loveliness!
    That said, I do like tinned lychees occasionally. fruit cocktail from a tin is disgusting though, those cherries, uch, make me shudder.

    I have never eaten canned fruit, what's the point in that.
    Fresh fruit is readily available in most places, i would never have given canned fruit any consideration

    But you don't mind tinned fish!
