How to choose canned vegetables & fruit

Choose the produce and packing liquid for your dish: water, brine, juice, syrup or a marinade. Check salt and sweetener additions, plus oils or seasonings in prepared vegetables.

Compare edible or drained amounts and whether the nutrition includes the packing liquid. No-salt-added and syrup-packed products have different uses; read the exact label and storage instructions after opening.
