Lifestyle What canned foods do you cook or eat without cooking at all?

[DifferentDimensionVanessa]

Wondering what beans, meats, other items can be eaten straight out of it without preparation

Edit: Other than fruits, got several fruit comments before it occurred to me I should exclude it
Beans & Meats?

Canned peaches

I like canned pears. I tend to cook with canned chipotle peppers, banana peppers, and tomatoes quite often too but I wouldn't necessarily advise just eating those straight out of the can.

Any canned fruit would be your best option for eating directly out of the can. I'm particularly fond of pineapple.

You know you can just eat the cans, right? They're high in iron or aluminum or something. Same difference.

I wouldn't eat it straight out of the can, but tomato paste mixed with olive oil and greek yogurt in cooked pasta makes a pretty good quick and fairly thick sauce with minimal effort

yup, I'm fond of sardines. you can also eat them straight out of the can but they're better if you pop them on a piece of rye bread with cucumber and onion slices, and maybe a dash of a spicy sauce of your choice, for a quick lunch

Beans and herring.

Olives. Higher quality ones usually come in jars, but the cheap black olives that come in cans would be fine to eat directly from the can as a snack

Canning is a sterile process that requires sterile contents. I think the better question here is what canned stuff CAN'T be eaten without preparation.

Maybe motor oil? Don't drink motor oil. Yeah, I think that's good advice.

 

[TheFurretStar]

Yeah I agree with RainWaiv you can just eat the can. No cooking required

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned but I've heard good things about canned potatoes from ShadowBeatz. Frozen canned juice can also be pretty good as a summer treat.

I'm not sure what life situations might have led you to asking this question but I am afraid of the answer

I feel like the fish answer is the correct one; everything else you probably want to heat up (not because it's not safe but because it's kind of gross; would you eat cold Spaghettios? I wouldn't)

I have eaten canned corn on the cob, it was nice. I also saw canned bread once.

 

[TheShield]

canned water, but I accidentally burned it before I could eat it

 

[yureion]
