Guest guest Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Don't be so fast to discount canned vegetables. There are instances when canned offers greater nutrition. All the time, I read about folks rinsing canned beans. While salad dishes and others may call for it, the canned juice is fine in soups and stews. Reserve the canned liquids, and freeze them in freezer sacks, for later use; once frozen, other liquid can be added on top. These are great for veggie broth, you have already purchased them, and the liquids contain a tremendous amount of vitamins and minerals. We have to remember that vegetables and fruits are canned and/or frozen at their peak of freshness, and much, supposedly, fresh produce is picked early. http://homecooking.about.com/library/weekly/aa021698.htm Blessings, for a wonderful August week, Jack August 5: If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 So true! Thanks for helping us keep that in mind. I love to stock up on canned veggies and beans when they are on sale. They really are a kitchen time-saver, too. ~ PT ~ , " maxium62001 " <maxium62001 wrote: > > > Don't be so fast to discount canned vegetables.
