More Reasons to Can the Can

Did you know that you're not getting nearly the nutritional bang for your caloric buck by cutting open a can? Many veggies lose up to 90 percent of their original nutrients in the canning process. Plus, canned foods are typically very high in sodium ― some cans of soup have 2,000 mg! Stay away from processed foods as much as possible, and eat whole foods. Buy frozen vegetables and visit your grocery store's produce aisle and your local farmers markets instead of getting your vegetables from cans.
