What kind of fruit should I eat?

Fruit closest to its natural form

For example:

Whole fresh fruit
Frozen fruit that is unsweetened

Fruit closest to it natural form is naturally higher in nutrients (including fiber) and lower in added sugar.

How do I know if there is added sugar in my food?
How much fiber do I need in a day?

The next best options are:

Canned fruit in a lite syrup or juice
100% fruit juice (no added sugar)

Peaches canned in lite syrup can have half the calories and sugar of peaches canned in heavy syrup.

How do I read a food label?
How much sugar can I have in a day?
