I NEVER use canned. I don't think many of here do Too full of sodium and all the nutrients and vitamins are drained from them. I'm sure others will advise as well
Never boil. Steam them. I primarily buy frozen then I dish out a serving and nuke them til their thawed. Takes less than 2 mins. When I do buy fresh I steam them, boiling again takes the vitamins out.
Based on the information I received from a dietician...she told me that you actually don't lose a lot of the nutrients in the liquid from canned vegies..????...so I actually DO eat canned vegies...good for saving time...they're certainly not ideal...and should be rinsed thoroughly..and if you're worried about sodium at all I wouldn't eat them.
So...in summary...I think they're ok at times but are the least favorable method...fresh and frozen are better.
I eat mine frozen too....well i don't eat them frozen, but I prepare from frozen. It only takes 8 or 9 minutes, so you can prepare your protein while your veggies are nuked.
