Do canned/tinned fruits have a syn value?

[ChubLock]

I discovered tinned strawberries and raspberries at the weekend - obviously if I drained them from the syrup they come in, could I eat them freely?

No, they would then be counted as Syns! You can have tinned fruit as part of your HEB, but has to be in juice. Hope that helps x

Ack really? Ah well...

 

[Eternalflame]

Lol.. yes. But why not count them and use them with free yogurt? x

 

[ChubLock]

Yes I probably will do, they're a nice refreshing pudding

I use a lot of tinned fruit in desserts etc, and I always syn it, but first I drain it and rinse it, to get any residue of syrup etc of it before using it.

I hate this cos I am a really fussy fruit eater lol will eat melon and apples and sometimes bananas but nothing else

However I love pears in a pot (little chunks of pears in a plastic pot that you can get from the co op) and pineapple chunks in a pot and the peaches as well, but I could not eat a pear or a peach "normally" to save my life lol
