Weighing canned pineapple after draining

For pineapple packed in juice, 100 g of drained fruit provides 60 calories in the USDA reference used here. A can's net weight may include its liquid. Use the stated drained weight, or weigh the fruit you actually put on your plate.

Chunks, slices and cup measures

A weighed 50 g amount supplies 30 calories and 7.78 g carbohydrate. The reference cup of chunks weighs 181 g and supplies 109 calories, 28.16 g carbohydrate and 2.35 g fiber. Crushed fruit and slices pack differently into a cup, so a universal weight for one pineapple ring would be misleading.

The reference drained mandarin cup weighs 189 g. When switching canned fruits, weigh the drained serving rather than applying the pineapple chunk measure of 181 g to the new fruit.

Does draining remove all the sugar?

No. The reference contains 14.26 g total sugars per 100 g, or 7.13 g in a 50 g amount. Removing the packing juice does not remove the sugars within the fruit. Syrup-packed pineapple needs its own label: check both the packing liquid and whether the nutrition panel describes drained fruit or the whole contents.

In the pineapple-with-syrup example, 100 g fruit and liquid together provides 78 calories and 16.9 g sugars. Before switching from the drained juice-packed table, match both the packing liquid and the part you weigh.

Adding pineapple to yogurt or dessert

If you add 50 g of drained pineapple to plain yogurt, the pineapple contributes 30 calories; yogurt, oats and weighed honey are separate additions. Dividing 200 g of drained fruit equally between four bowls gives that same 50 g amount in each bowl. The fruit's energy is only one part of the finished dessert. A recipe that also uses the juice cannot be calculated from this drained-fruit table alone.

Reference and product limits

USDA SR28 record 09354 describes drained, juice-packed pineapple. Fresh, dried and syrup-packed products are separate foods. Vitamin A is expressed as 3 µg RAE per 100 g, which is a different unit from the recorded 50 IU. A matching brand label takes precedence for that particular product.
