But sometimes the cost of fresh produce limits our options (especially when you want to buy veggies outside of their growing season). Did you know that canned vegetables have just as much nutritional value as fresh produce and are much more affordable? When you buy canned options, watch for veggies with added sodium (sodium is used to make them last longer), and rinse and drain the veggies before you use them.<br>Try these easy ways to use canned veggies:<br>\u2022 Tomatoes are great to add to soups, sauces, or chili<br>\u2022 Add a can of sweet corn and diced green chilis to your tacos or salsa<br>\u2022 Toss peas into macaroni and cheese, salad, casserole, or add to a stir-fry<br>\u2022 Diced carrots can be added into a salad or used in soups<br>\u2022 Chopped onions can be added to any recipe and won\u2019t make your eyes water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/middleschoolphysicaleducation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3292\/2020\/05\/canned-veggies.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-361\" width=\"436\" height=\"346\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physical ActivityToday, let\u2019s try some family yoga!
