If you're in the mood to try a new dessert recipe or just want a simple snack, canned tropical fruit is likely part of the equation. The mix of various tropical fruit — including favorites like mango, papaya and pineapple — bathed in lightly sweetened juice brings a beachy vibe to any moment.

Did you know that canned tropical fruit salad can be a great dessert on its own, or as a delightfully sweet ingredient in cakes, pies, cobblers and muffins? Also, tropical fruit can be the key to starting the day off right. Add a can to a bowl of crunchy granola and Greek yogurt for a flavorful breakfast parfait. You can even toss canned tropical fruit into the blender with ice cubes, wheat bran, strawberries and a banana to mix up a satisfying breakfast smoothie.

And don't forget fruit cups are a great anytime treat for lunch boxes and summertime trips to the beach or pool.
