In times when Covid-19 is all over the world, there’s nothing secure and we are basically
on pins and needles, it’s definitely a good idea to have some stock at home. And by “stock” we mean
food! What’s the best way to have food that you know for sure is not going to go bad? Of course, it’s canned food. There are many myths about products in preserve jars, but most of them aren’t true anyway. As a matter of fact, there are lots of cases when canned foods from the market have
better quality than the ones people prepare by themselves. Here’s a list of
4 preserved foods that you should probably have to stock up on. Just in case something like
Coronavirus locks you up!
- Grains and legumes
Whether it’s chickpeas, lentils, beans or whatever, it’s a
must-have in any kitchen. First of all, these kinds of foods are super simple and you can have them literally for any day of the week. Secondly, both grains and legumes can be quite rich in proteins, carbs and fibers. By taking canned chickpeas or beans you might experiment and cook whatever dish you like. They can even turn into
the dream salad!

their own juice. However, in case you have fruits stored in syrup, you can always give them a little wash before eating. Just for you to know: tinned pineapple is definitely
a-must as it has vitamin C, potassium and lots of enzymes.
- Fish
Many of us know that fish, as a whole, has
plenty of proteins to give. It’s also high in omega-3 fatty acids that might reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. There’s always a
“but”, though! Be sure not to go too far with eating not-fresh fish. For example, tuna might contain a bit more mercury than necessary. You’re probably familiar with how dangerous high doses of mercury can be for the organism, right? So, specialists suggest that we shouldn’t go for more than one canned tuna per week. OK, we’ll survive on that! Don’t forget to supply yourself with our canned foods by choosing your preferable category from the e-store as you
