A Canned Food Week UK recipe from Independent Age. Using canned food in your recipes is not only convenient but it also includes nutrients which help to keep you healthy. Take the Salmon & Potato Bake, for example. It only includes five ingredients, taking the hassle of too much preparation out of the equation. Meanwhile canned salmon is a great source of Omega-3, which helps to regulate blood pressure and keep bodies healthy.
