Home » Low Carb Products » Breakfast Foods   Del Monte Carb Clever Canned Fruit Reviews Views Date of last review 4 5761 Thu December 29, 2005 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers $1.09 10.0 Description: Del Monte Foods announced sweet news for the millions of Americans who are forgoing the tremendous health benefits of fruit while following a low-carbohydrate diet. Del Monte Foods has developed the Del Monte Carb Clever brand, a new line of canned fruit that provides the same nutritional benefits of regular canned fruit, but has 50 to 70 percent fewer carbs. The new Del Monte Carb Clever line fills the need for increased fruit intake as part of an overall healthy diet, as well as supplying low-carb dieters a means to satisfy their craving for something sweet without sacrificing their dieting principles. This should provide some comfort to many health and nutrition experts who have become concerned about reports such as those out of the ACNielsen company that report 44 percent of low- carb dieters - an estimated 15 million Americans - have either cut back or stopped eating fruit as a result of the diet. "The ACNielsen research regarding insufficient fruit consumption while on low-carb diets underscores the market need for Del Monte Carb Clever line of products," said Josie Welling, vice president of marketing Del Monte Fruit. "People on these diets, as well as those cutting back on refined sugar intake, are really trying to do something positive for their health. Continuing to enjoy fruit, while being conscious of their total carb and sugar intake, is easy with Del Monte Carb Clever." "With the rise of low-carb mania, many dietitians and physicians, myself included, have become concerned that these diets are severely reducing the intake of many beneficial vitamins and minerals found in fruit," said Helenbeth Reiss Reynolds, MPH, RD. "Del Monte Carb Clever offers those on a carb-controlled diet a sensible way of maintaining their diet, while enjoying the great, sweet taste of fruit with all of the health benefits they provide." So, how do they do it? Rather than packing the fruit in heavy syrup or natural fruit juices, Del Monte Carb Clever is packed in water and sweetened with Splenda brand no-calorie sweetener, made from real sugar. The result is great tasting, ready-to-eat fruit that's lower in carbs and calories, while retaining a natural, sweet taste. The complete line includes the following five products: 14.5 oz. sliced peaches 14.5 oz. fruit cocktail 14.5 oz. sliced pears 8.25 oz. pear chunks 8.25 oz. peach chunks Author NCgrl Senior LCF Member Registered: November 2004 Location: Blue Ridge Mountains Posts: 509 Review Date: Tue November 30, 2004 Would you recommend the product?
