Healthy Canned Foods You Need to Always Have on Hand

Healthy eating from a can? Looking for what to have in your home that we can also stock up on, we found the following information, with a link to their full aritcle.    

Samon, Mackrel, Sardines 

You’re familiar with tuna, but it’s by far not the only fish worth buying canned. Consumer Reports says canned fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are just as good for you as the fresh varieties, as they contain plenty of protein and heart-healthy omega-3s. And The Daily Meal reports sardines are one of the few non-meat sources of vitamin B12, which is vital for brain health.
The only downside is the sodium content in canned fish (and most canned foods in general). But if you’re not at risk of high blood pressure, eat up.

Lentils

If you’ve forgotten about this legume, it’s time to incorporate it into your diet. Lentils are high in protein and fiber, mindbodygreen says, making them the perfect accompaniment when you’re sick of rice or pasta as a side dish. They also aid in digestion, can help reduce your risk of heart disease, and can help lower your cholesterol levels.
If you’re trying to lose weight, lentils should definitely be on your radar too. An entire cup cooked comes to just 230 calories.

Pumpkin

Let’s be clear: We’re not talking about the sugary pumpkin pie filling in the baking aisle — we’re talking about straight canned pumpkin with nothing added. And this canned food is full of beta-carotene, which can help prevent heart disease and enhance your eye health, Greatist says. It may also surprise you to know that you’ll feel pretty full after eating a dish with pumpkin due to its incredibly high fiber content and decent amount of protein.
