Quick Answer
Canned fruit offers year-round supply, consistent fruit quality and no peeling or cutting, making it ideal for bubble tea shops’ fruit teas, mango pomelo sago, smoothies and desserts. Compared with fresh fruit, it isn’t affected by seasons or price swings and speeds up prep; but canned fruit usually sits in syrup, so count that sugar in your recipe. After opening, store as the pack directs and use within the recommended time.
