Canned Mixed Vegetables

Canned mixed vegetables are a blend of various vegetables that have been heat-processed and preserved in brine or their own juice. They most commonly contain carrots, peas, corn, green beans, or peppers. Thanks to sterilisation, they are ready to use straight away and have a long shelf life. In the kitchen, they can be added directly to soups, sauces, rice, or pasta, or simply heated as a quick side dish. They are a practical staple for quick weeknight dinners. Although some vitamins are lost during the sterilisation process, the vegetables retain their fibre and minerals. An economical and widely available pantry essential.
