Canned and potted vegetables

Canned and potted vegetables

Canned and potted vegetables are vegetables that have been preserved in a can or glass jar to extend their shelf life. They are usually harvested, cleaned and then heated or pickled, so they can be stored for a long time without loss of quality. Examples are corn, peas, carrots, green beans and red cabbage. These vegetables are easy to use, quick to prepare and often pre-cooked, making them ideal for quick meals or as an addition to dishes.
