Eli5 – How is fruit that is chewed better for you than fruit that is blended / juiced?

254 views

Is fruit that is juiced or blended better than no fruit at all? Or, is it better to avoid any juiced fruit?

I like the flavour of fruit but not the texture, because of this I avoid all fruit and am pretty close minded on trying anything new due to price and waste.

I recently debated buying baby blended fruit pouches to add vitamins into my diet; is this something that will be better than avoiding fruit all together?

Thank you for any comments in advance!

Edit: Thank you all so much for your replies, and as well for the suggestions and advice!

Posting at r/nutrition would be good. Whole fruit is good, juice is good. If you have one apple and eat it whole, or stick it in a blender and drink it, equal parts, it’s the same.
Sure, if you add sugar or filter, you affect some of the nutrition, but it’s not worth stressing about until the rest of your diet is unbalanced.
