Every frozen fruit product broken down by portion, with nutrient retention and free sugar status compared against fresh and dried.
Frozen fruit is frozen shortly after picking and retains most of its nutrients. Its sugar remains within the fruit structure, so it does not count as free sugar.
Frozen berries in particular often compare well with fresh, since fresh berries deteriorate quickly and are frequently picked before ripeness for transport.
Texture softens on thawing, which matters for eating raw but not for smoothies, baking or cooking.
Blending frozen fruit into a smoothie releases its sugar from the cell structure, at which point it counts as free sugar. Eating it whole does not.
Frozen fruit with added sugar or syrup exists and is worth checking for, though most plain packs contain fruit only.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
