canned food

Canned food refers to food that has been preserved through a process of sealing it in airtight containers, typically metal cans or jars. The food is heated to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, preventing spoilage and extending shelf life. This method allows for long-term storage without refrigeration, making it convenient for everyday meals and emergency supplies. Canned foods retain much of their nutritional value and come in a variety of products, including fruits, vegetables, meats, and soups. Proper handling and storage are essential to maintain safety and quality.
