Things to consider when buying healthy canned foods and packaged goods
Is organic canned food healthy?
Organic canned food can be a simple way to add extra nutrition into your diet. Buying bulk canned goods online means you always have nutritional products in your cupboard, even when they’re not in season.
Some healthy tinned foods include pulses such as organic chickpeas and organic lentils. They’re excellent sources of protein, are high in dietary fibre, and have lots of antioxidants.
Another popular canned product is organic diced tinned tomatoes. The heating process means canned tomatoes contain more antioxidants than fresh tomatoes.
However, not all canned foods are created equal. Many canned goods contain BPA, which may cause health problems. You also need to look out for added salt or sugar in many tinned products.
At Santos Organics, our healthy canned foods all have a BPA-free lining and don’t contain any hidden nasties. You can be reassured you’re making the healthiest choice for you and your family.
What are some ways to include bulk canned food in your diet?
You can easily mix and match fresh and canned food, depending on what you have at home. For dried pulses, using tinned food saves a little time as it means you don’t have to soak and cook them before eating.
For example, this delicious Smoky Black Beans with Lime Smashed Avocado on Toast recipe asks you to soak the black beans overnight, then cook them until they’re soft. However, if you use tinned black beans, you can skip that entire process and your breakfast is ready within minutes!
How should you store canned and packaged foods?
Store unopened bulk canned food in a cupboard or pantry. After opening, make sure you put any uneaten food in a sealed container and pop it in the fridge.For packaged goods, store in a sealed container in the pantry or cupboard.
