February
is National Canned Food Month! From home-canned foods fresh from the garden to
meats and soups from the store, there’s a canned food for everyone.
Canned
foods are cooked in their cans, making them quick to prepare and longer
lasting. Just be sure that any cans of food you buy don’t have dents - they can
cause tiny holes that let air in!
Indiana
produces a lot of canned foods. We rank second in tomatoes for processing, and
many of those tomatoes are canned by Red Gold in Elwood.
Indiana
is also home to Sechler’s, a company that
makes and sells 54 varieties of pickles, relishes, and salsas.
If
you’re interesting in canning your own foods, check out this post from Amy Ott at
the Real Farmwives of America blog!
