Geez, not a canned food – fresh debate??
Don’t lump all processed foods together when talking about nutrition, safety.
The ingredients of our canned peas are pretty simple, i.e. Peas, Water, Salt. Shelf stable for three years, promise not to send you to the porcelain gods if you store, heat, and serve it correctly. With that, you can be rolling the dice with ‘fresh’ foods. Those bacterium are wee little fellows, and they have a tendency to travel in groups on fresh foods. They all have it, just depends on how ‘fresh’ it is when you get it, how you store it, how you prepare it. Slip up anywhere in that chain before consumption, and things can get ugly.
Remember to leave the vegetables out of the conversations on problems with processed foods. They are generally not the root of the problems so stated. You are actually much better off eating your vegetables from a can. Just saying . . .
R2 – I like Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce out of Chicago. . . OOOOhhh that’s realllyyy good. Whole pork tenderloin cut in chunks, smoked on the grill with hickory, then boiled down while simmering in a large roaster, pulled apart just prior to the application of the sauce. Large party food. Very little has ever made it back into the fridge, cause rarely are there leftovers.
