What are your thoughts on canned vegetables?

They are real expensive.. and not real good prices. But if you dont have time to cook fresh ones I guess they will have to do.

Canned vegetables are not bad at all, it has it's nutrients but less than the fresh. but it think it's not a very big deal for me,for as long as i eat vegetables then that would be enough. hehe

When it is possible, I definitely prefer to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. However, this is not something that is always possible. During the spring and summer season, I purchase fresh fruits and vegetables almost every day. However, we are now in the late fall season and there is really nothing that is in season here now. The result of this is that we will eat frozen vegetables and some canned vegetables. Canned vegetables do still have nutritional value, but with the choice between canned and frozen, flash frozen vegetables have maintained a much greater degree of their nutritional value.

I believe canned fruits and veggies will give you less nutrition besides all nutritional facts in every product can be cheated so I prefer fresh fruits and veggies. If you have no choice to buy fresh fruits and veggies I think you can use them as an alternative but don't get used too much in canned products.

I think that canned vegetables are not healthy. Much more, the can itself contains a lot of preservatives in it. I like to eat fresh vegetables because they are much nicer in taste than canned vegetables.

Canned vegetables lose some of their very essential nutrients. These are especially low in vitamins, compared to fresh fruits and vegetables. If you can, try and buy as much of fresh vegetables. If you just can't you will need to compromise on the quality and freshness by using canned vegetables.

I use a lot of canned vegetables and I am very healthy. They still have a lot of the nutrients and are much more convenient and cheaper than fresh. About the only fresh vegetable I have a lot is broccoli and I steam even that since it is supposed to be better for you if cooked rather than raw. The only problem with canned vegetables is if you have to watch how much salt(sodium) you have in your diet because of high blood pressure or something. Even then you can get no salt added canned vegetables but they might cost a little more. I eat a lot of canned green peas and green beans.

Some men just like things a certain way. Fresh vegetables are the best way to go but alot of folks who have gardens can alot of it so it isn't wasted and they can use it during the Winter. I am not real big on canned vegetables although I recall eating alot of my grandmother's green beans and tomatoes that had been canned. They were always very good.

Well the best like you say is fresh.. then there is frozen.. those that you can do yourself or those you can buy. Then canned. Canned has value not much though considering what they do to them to put them in that can.. Cooks most of the value out and when they put in the chemicals to keep them from spoiling makes it bad. Thing is some companies are finding different ways to can them. They are better than they were years ago.. still is last in my list. I have convinced my daughter to switch to frozen from the store.. and said we don't have to cook a whole bag, take what is needed and put the rest back for the next meal.

Canned vegetables is convenient. Besides, fresh ones can sometimes be hard to find especially if you go to the grocery late in the afternoon. Well, at least that's case here where I'm from. People buy fresh things in the morning so by the time it's afternoon, most are no longer available and the remaining ones aren't that fresh anymore. And I think there are canned veggies that have on the label the nutritional value of it. Yeah, nothing beats the fresh ones, but it's better to have canned ones than not having veggies at all.
