Canned food nutritional?

Question

I use to eat frozen spinach and tomoatos on the vine, but now I just get the spinach and stewed tomoatos in a can at the grocery store. They dont taste the same, but do they have the same nutitional value?

Answer 1

The nutritional values are the same...if not more. Some brands do the "enriched" ones...so they add more vitamins etc... Sometimes they might have more sugar though.... it depends on the product. Read the labels...yuo'l find all the info you're looking for and you can compare them all.

Answer 2

The heating process during canning destroys from one-third to one-half of vitamins A and C, riboflavin, and thiamin. For every year the food is stored, canned food loses an additional 5 to 20% of these vitamins. However, the amounts of other vitamins are only slightly lower in canned food than in fresh food.

Most produce will begin to lose some of its nutrients when harvested. When produce is handled properly and canned quickly after harvest, it can be more nutritious than fresh produce sold in stores.

Answer 3

No, they do not. The canning process breaks down the vitamins and enzymes in the food you eat. The mineral content will be the same, but there will be a much lower vitamin content in canned food.

Frozen foods tend to have more vitamins, but still less than fresh; irradiated foods tend to have the closest to the natural levels of vitamins, but people were so paranoid that I think they were never really marketed.

Answer 4

Gosh~! They are totally bad for your health! Why dont you buy the fresh ones??
Eating fresh is the key to prevent cancer.

Canned food contains high level of perservatives and chemical materials that the manufacturers do not state in the nutrition fact on the label.

Answer 5

One can't die from this kind of food ; but in the long run could have stomach difficulties and troubles! It may also change your inner conduct, making you adopt some slight different character responds to life ;
try not to get used to it for long ; it's more chemical than normal food.....

Answer 6

no!

any canned food is already considered "dead food"

if you intake, you might think,,.."yummy!" but that means a lot..for canned foods are processed that nutrients are already lost and new chemicals not essential for body tissues are being taken inside of you.

so., decide...eat canned foods then you subtract 15 years from your life?

or eat nutritious food..so even your 50 yrs old..you even look like 30.?

decide now before its late.

Answer 7

Not the same the the fresh one.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
