Mention BAC and that we want to be sure that we wash away all the BAC on our fresh fruit before eating it Explain that fresh fruit cannot be stored for a long time because they spoil which is thy there are so many different methods on preserving them Explain that preserving the fruit is kept nutritious for us to eat later Explain there are several ways we can preserve fruits canned, frozen, dried, and juiced CANNED: Hold up example of canned is popular since they can be stored for a long time, ready to eat out of can.
Canned can also come in plastic packaging. Ask: What are some fruits you like to eat that come in a can?

JUICE: Hole up example of juice. Another way we can get fruit is juice form. Explain that we take out the water/juice from fruit to make it dried, but when we make juice we take away the part of the fruit we chew/eat.
