Canned beans and fish are becoming survival essentials as prices rise and shelves empty fast. Do you think more people will start stocking up now, or are we still too used to relying on fresh food until it’s gone?
Not all canned brands are equal.Choose carefully.
Great video! This past year was difficult and I felt overwhelmed. Cooking was an effort. Having canned beans, tuna, spaghetti pasta, evaporated milk and instant coffee made the situation effortless. I was so grateful.
You mentioned coconut milk: I bought a case and found that coconut milk was great for cooking but once the expiration date had passed it wasn’t great for drinking. I would suggest buying powdered Nido milk instead. There were quality variations in the cans too. Your points were 100% correct!
What we really need is to fund our farmers instead of buying food overseas and Canada! This means no tariffs that would reduce food prices! This is just common sense even 6 year olds can figure this out!
We need to make our own cans for our food and do our own canning. covid showed us how untrustworthy shipping worldwide is.
What happened to glass jars
Farm workers are on work visa.
The problem is all these items you mentioned are not healthy to take with chemicals and preservatives most times have high salt and other chemicals for the field. Your best bet is to forget the retail stores and start prepping your own garden. Get away from canned goods, cause the manufacturers don’t care about you and what you’re eating from inside those cans.
Anything is good, Jared or canned. The deal is that it needs to be kept in a cool place at all times, we have great canned food from 1978 that is delicious because it has been kept at 40 degrees at all times ,
