I usually buy the canned kind.I guess because it is faster.I know it is alot cheaper to can though but I just do not seem to find the time with 2 kids.I know my grandma had 10 kids and she would can her own stuff.I like to get fresh fruit sometimes becuase some of the canned food can have alot of processesed stuff in it.I know I shouldnt be so lazy and maybe just try canning.But I was never one to grow a garden.I like to plant flowers though.

In my country there are lots of fresh fruits and vegetable in the market and it was easy for us to buy one and cooked it.
I prefer to buy fresh because it is natural and I think more healthy to eat but sometimes we purchase canned vegetable and fruits when we are really in a hurry like when we are about to prepare for a special occasion.

Fresh fruit is always best. Especially if you have your own fruit trees.
Of course most of us don't and often fresh fruit is very expensive depending on where you live and what time of year it is.
There is nothing wrong with canned fruit and vegetables. They may have lost a little of their nutritional value in the process, but they are still important to your diet.
Don't forget about frozen vegetables. They retain much of their nutrition because they are not cooked for too long.
