Previously thoughtlessly poured liquid from canned food, but my mother-in-law stopped me. Bashny.Net

We all buy a variety of canned goods from time to time. As you know, the production of canned food is impossible without a liquid in which products are better preserved. We usually drain it into the sink. But, you know, it's not very rational. First of all, it's stupid to throw away a product we've already paid for. Secondly, such liquids often contain a good dose of beneficial trace elements. In addition, tuna oil, and juice from a jar with pineapple rings, and brine from peas can be used in the preparation of many dishes. We tell you what to do with liquid gold from cans.



Canned food production

1. Canned peas
   It turns out that juice from under beans, peas or chickpeas is a very valuable product. All these liquids received the general name aquafaba (from the Latin aqua - water and faba - beans). To the delight of vegans and fasting, they perfectly replace eggs. And both in sweet dishes like waffles and meringues, and in unsweetened ones, for example, mayonnaise.
   
   
   
   Another idea is to freeze this brine by pouring into molds. Then it can be added to soups, okroshka or used when stewing second dishes.
   
   
2. Canned fish
   On the oil from a can of tuna, you can fry fish, season its fish salads, add to sauces to the paste. We add that fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin D, are dissolved in the oil. Therefore, by pouring the liquid out of the jar, we deprive ourselves of an important nutrient.
   
   
   
3. pineapples
   You can drink sweet pineapple juice. Or you can use it differently - add to various desserts. From it you can prepare a syrup, which will serve as a delicious addition to pancakes, cheesecakes, casseroles. Pineapple juice can also be added to cocktails and cook lazy oatmeal on its basis.
