Thinking about packaged food should be synonymous with thinking about quality, practicality, and modernity, as many of the Mexican products we find in supermarket aisles have nutritional value, tradition, and high quality behind every can.Packaging is merely a method for preserving food for a longer time through airtight containers. The process can vary depending on the product, but there are three main steps: processing, sealing, and heating.The first step is to process the food, which means peeling, slicing, chopping, removing seeds and bones, peeling skins, or cooking it; the second is sealing, which is done with the cans, and lastly, heating refers to the fact that the containers are heated to kill harmful bacteria and prevent spoilage.As a result of this process, packaged products retain properties and have various benefits, such as those mentioned below.A can of vegetables preserves nutrients A can of vegetables is nutritious and can be stored for 1 to 5 years or more thanks to packaging, as according to the National Chamber of Metal Container Manufacturers (Canafem), in industrialized processes “the variables that influence nutrient loss are controlled” and it can even be less than when we prepare them at home.Canning can enhance other healthy compoundsWhile the canning process can damage water-soluble vitamins, it can also increase the amounts of other healthy compounds; for example, tomatoes and corn release more antioxidants when heated, making the canned varieties of these foods an even better source of antioxidants.Common packaged foods include vegetables, sauces, chilies, purees, and many Mexican companies ensure that their product line is made with the highest quality natural foods, providing nutrition, health, and well-being.For example, the Herdez® product line not only offers quality, but is also backed by a tradition of over 100 years, continually renewing in technology, sustainability, and even in branding.This brand renewal is a tribute to Mexico as a country of expressions through its colors, its people, and of course, its flavors, which originate from the heart of the countryside.
