Notes
Canned veggies retain comparable nutrients to fresh vegetables because they go straight from the garden to the cannery - no extensive traveling for these nutritious gems. If you're watching your sodium intake, look for low-sodium versions because regular canned veggies contain quite a bit of salt.
