Avoid These Grocery Store Canned Foods

Green Curved Line

Pitted Olive

Olives are a canned food classic and ideal. However, the canned olive you choose will affect what you eat.

Chicken

Chicken isn't exactly a hard food to prepare, but with its tendency to become dry and stringy if cooked incorrectly, getting it just right can be tricky. 

Soup

Chances are you've bought soup in a can. Premade soups are some of the most popular canned goods because they can cut your meal prep time from hours to minutes.

Green Vegetable

You might not be getting the most fresh and healthy vegetables from those pre-cooked broccoli, asparagus, and green beans in cans. Eating them raw might be better for you.

Tomato Sauce

Like other canned goods, tomato sauce is acidic. Acidity can cause problems when the sauce touches the metal can.

Spam

Spam stands out. This slightly mysterious-looking pink meat is delicious in fried rice and on its own, and its flavorful, easy-to-cook nature has made it popular worldwide.

Noodle

Canned noodles are often way more cooked than pasta that's been freshly prepared, and this can mean its GI index ends up being higher, so you digest it quicker. 

Fondue Parties 

70s fondue parties were social media. Gather around molten cheese or chocolate and dip anything you could. Social, messy, and a great excuse to play with food.

Refried Bean

Using canned refried beans makes one of the most delicious dishes easier to make and tastes great.

Chili

Chili is comfort food perfection. Making it is about the only thing that's unsettling. Who has hours to cook a good chili on the stove today?
