February
National Canned Food Month celebrates the unsung heroes of the kitchen pantry: canned foods. Canned items are convenient and durable. They can last for months to years when properly stored and undamaged. Plus, canned foods contain the same nutrients as fresh counterparts. Foods packaged in cans are always in season and at the peak of freshness. They can be used in recipes. Many stores put canned goods on sale in the winter months, so they can be an even greater bargain.

Canned foods are just as healthy and perhaps even more convenient than some fresh items. They can be used in many different recipes, including the Recipes offered by Metro's Editorial Services.
