Every tinned vegetable broken down by tin and by drained weight, with salt compared against NHS daily reference intakes.
The main question with tinned vegetables is what they are packed in. Water, brine and sauce produce very different salt figures for the same vegetable.
Rinsing and draining removes a meaningful share of the salt, though the label figure usually describes the full contents including liquid.
No-added-salt varieties exist across most ranges and are the simpler choice when cooking for young children.
Tinned vegetables lose more water-soluble vitamins than frozen, but retain fibre and minerals. They still count towards five a day.
Tinned tomatoes are the exception worth noting, since cooking increases the availability of lycopene rather than reducing it.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
