Hi all

We r using once in a while tinned foods in our daily life...some may says that tinned food items r nt healthy n while others says they r healthy...while browsing i found some interesting things about them..would love to share..

Tinned fish and meat can also be very nutritious. Oily fish such as tinned salmon or sardines contains healthy oils. Some tinned meats can be low fat and high in iron but it is important to check their labels as fat content can vary from product to product.

You can now buy a variety of quite cheap tinned vegetables as well as lots of different types of beans. These are are very healthy and can be added to stews and sauces. If you have time to prepare them you can buy dried beans and pulses which are even cheaper. Tinned tomatoes are a cheap and a great store cupboard item and lentils are filling, nutritious, cook quickly and can be added to most dishes..

Canned fish - tuna, salmon, mackerel, crab, shrimp - offers a convenient way to reach the heat healthy goal of eating fish twice a week.

Fish has less fat, especially saturated fat, than meat and poultry. Several varieties (salmon, albacore tuna, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies) are also high in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

Canned ingredients can be kept up to two years. After that, they are still safe if the seal is intact and the can is not bulging.

Many canned fruits are now available with no added sugars, or packed in natural juices.

Canned products are preservative-free because the canning process denatures enzymes that deteriorate food.
