Canned food can give you healthier options. 

That’s according to Nutrition and Wellness Educator for University of Illinois Extension Lisa Peterson. 

She does say you should pay close attention when you pick your canned foods out. 

When you buy canned food, make sure it is safe to eat. Unsafe canned food at a grocery store is a pretty rare but dangerous circumstance. 

Canning your own produce can give you an option for fresh fruits and vegetables year-round.
