Mark's Daily Apple Tuesday, January 10, 2023 2:52 PM I'm lucky to live in warm climates with year-round access to fresh produce, but not everyone can pop over to their local farmer's market or co-op whenever they want and grab the ingredients for a big-ass salad. Farm-to-table cuisine is great, the Primal ideal even, but the reality is that cooking with fresh, local ingredients requires access and time to shop and prepare food that not everyone enjoys, not always. Many people rely on preserved food for much or all of the year to meet their meat and produce needs, "preserved" meaning frozen, canned, dried, or fermented. Whenever the topic of canned food comes up, I inevitably get questions about whether canned vegetables are nutritious, safe, or even Primal. (And I inevitably get comments about how we don't need vegetables at all, which I discuss in my Definitive Guide to the carnivore diet.) Sure, Grok wouldn't have eaten canned vegetables. But modern humans spend almost every minute of every day engaging with technology our ancestors couldn't have imagined, from highly engineered mattresses topped with cooling pads to regulate our sleep temperature to air fryers to whatever device you're reading this post on right now. So I'm not too concerned about drawing some Primal line in the sand at food canning. The other questions are important, though. How does canned food stack up to fresh or frozen? Are Canned Vegetables as Nutritious As Fresh or Frozen? It depends on which vegetable and which nutrient you look at, but in general, canning tends to reduce nutrient content compared to fresh or frozen vegetables. But that's not true across the board. Sometimes, specific nutrients are actually higher in canned offerings. Furthermore—and this is a crucial point—nutrient losses due to canning often even out by the time the food makes it to your plate. Canning exposes food to high heat, so much of that nutrient loss is essentially due to the "cooking" that canned food undergoes. Most frozen vegetables only withstand a quick blanching before being flash frozen. Thus, if you compare fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables immediately after harvesting and processing, canned generally looks the worst, nutrient-wise. However, research shows that canned vegetables maintain their nutrient levels as they sit on the shelves, whereas the nutrients in frozen and fresh vegetables tend to degrade, bringing them more on par with canned. Once you factor in storing and then cooking fresh and frozen vegetables, you find that the initial disparities are much less pronounced as you're forking it into your mouth. Clearly, the best choice is fresh vegetables consumed as close to harvesting as possible. The reality, though, is the produce at your supermarket may be many weeks out from when it was picked, making it less "fresh" than you might imagine. There's also the whole issue of seasonal and regional availability to consider. Overall, in terms of building a nutrient-dense diet, in most circumstances, canned vegetables are going to be just as good or nearly as good as grocery store or frozen vegetables. … Continue reading "Are Canned Vegetables Healthy?"
