Properties

Canned seafood has multiple properties that make them a perfect component in a healthy and balanced diet.

Normally, people question the durability of these products as they do not know much about their preservation process. During this process, the food is cooked and placed in glass or tin containers which have been previously sterilized. These containers are sealed, airtight, filled with olive oil or other covering liquids which allow for their preservation for longer periods of time without losing their nutritional properties.

Another benefit, is that canned seafood does not use any preservatives or food coloring. The canned seafood is preserved in brine, oil or sauces, which help maitain them in good condition over long periods of time.

The great variety of canned foods is also worth noting. Thanks to technological advances in food preservation, the variety of preserved foods in long-lasting formats is always expanding. That’s why, nowadays you can find a wide range of canned foods. Their variety and versatility makes them an ideal ingredient to make different recipes each day.

Eating Tips

Before eating canned food, there are a few things to have in mind to make sure that you are eating a product that is in good condition.

One of the main things to have in mind is the expiration date, it is always recommended to double check before buying. And, when stored, make sure the cans are sealed and at room temperature (20ºC).

Another indicator of the durability of the product is the covering liquid that is used. Generally speaking, any liquid will preserve the food for a long period of time. However, there are liquids which allow for a better preservation of the product, as is the case with olive oil.

Normally, the shelf life of canned foods is 4 years for those that use brine or other sauces and 6 years for those that use oil.

To remove the product form the can, we recommend using a clean spoon or fork. At the time of manipulating the product, it is advised to follow the recommended instructions. That way, you will know if the product can be manipulated or heated without losing its taste or nutritional properties.

It is also worth noting that, once opened, it is no longer a preserved product. This implies that the leftovers will spoil in a short time, just like any other product. To make them last longer, store them in a clean, airtight container in the fridge.
