Canned vegetables are usually not considered to be particularly exquisite food, but it is easy to prepare a tasty and nutritious meal using them, for example a colorful vegetable salad with mayonnaise. Cans also have their undoubted advantages – canned food does not spoil and retains its flavor for several years. Long shelf life is also a feature of preserves sealed in jars. In winter, when it is difficult to buy fresh products, it is worth using marinated peppers, pumpkin, mushrooms or spicy pickles. Canned vegetables may be a delicious side to meat and potatoes.
