Either for health issues, the environment or animal ethics, people are waking up to the benefits of vegan cuisine.

Our job is to help these vegan heroes. We know the pressure you feel having to cook for the entire family after a 8 hour shift. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is start making dinner from scratch.

That’s where our tinned, canned and jar food products come in really handy. With the help of this article, you’ll be making convenience dinners within minutes.

But are these products vegan?

Canned vegetables, beans, tomatoes and tofu are ok for vegans to eat.

Vegan tinned foods mainly comprises fruit (jackfruit, pineapple), vegetables (corn, peas, tomato paste) and legumes (black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans). Some other tinned foods are antipasto, soup and pesto.

Nutritional Value

Beans, peas, and lentils can contain 20-30 grams of protein per 100 grams. They are great sources of fibre, minerals and antioxidants. Some foods are even better when canned. Tomatoes for example, can release antioxidants when left for a longer period.

Nutritional Ingredients

Some nutritional content you can keep an eye on are:

• Protein: beans, quinoa, seaweed, nuts, soy
• Calcium: tofu with calcium, spinach, broccoli, kale
• Omega-3 fatty acids: vegetable oils, plant-based supplements
