This is the healthiest canned food you should have in your kitchen

Most avoid it because they doubt its nutritional value, but the canning process has less of an impact on food than you might think.

A study published in the journal Nutrients found that people who ate a lot of canned foods had a higher intake of 17 essential nutrients compared to those who ate less.

In terms of taste, products like canned corn and peaches may actually have a fresher taste than the off-season options offered for these foods, writes Eating Well.

Not all canned foods are processed foods. With a seemingly endless lifespan, canned food can boost creativity in the kitchen.

Canned black beans may be the healthiest fast food in the world. With a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, folate, magnesium and phosphorus, black beans are similar to a canned multivitamin bomb.

Canned black beans provide about 16 grams of fiber and 15 grams of protein in a cup. An analysis of data from more than 30 studies published in The BMJ, linked higher intake of total protein and plant protein with a lower risk of mortality from all causes.

If you ever replace whole grains with canned beans, you are making a smart move for better heart health. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who consumed a cup of canned black beans for a month reduced LDL or bad cholesterol.

And since we rarely consume legumes anyway, it's time to reserve at least canned varieties. Experts agree - you will not go wrong.
