Canning History
Canning began its illustrious history with Nicolas Appert of France who in 1795 discovered that food sealed in glass bottles under heat was an effective food preservation method. However, it was Englishman Peter Durand who patented the tin can packaging process in 1810.Although consumers were enjoying the benefits of preserved foods, getting into those cans was quite a chore until Edward J. Warner of Connecticut, US, patented the first can-opener in 1848.
Recent studies find many canned foods are even more nutritious than their fresh counterparts. Your kitchen should always be stocked for any natural disaster, even if it is just a power outage. Canning and preserving is not only a necessity to many, but also a hobby.
