I know you can be tempted to buy pre-cut fruit as it’s very convenient and time-efficient, but you’ll pay a lot more for a small quantity of produce. Additionally, another downside is that pre-cut fruits usually don’t stay fresh for long.
Also, according to Consumer Reports, the process of cutting and packing the fruit exposes it to oxygen, light, and heat, so don’t be surprised if its vitamin content gets affected as well.
