Canned cooked meat is a meat product made from meat that has been previously cooked and hermetically sealed to extend its shelf life. This type of meat is characterized by its tender texture and uniform flavor, being very practical for use in various recipes due to its ease of storage and preparation.
The origin of canned meat dates back to the 19th century, when preservation techniques were developed to feed troops and travelers, allowing the meat to be kept without the need for refrigeration. Today, it is a common ingredient in many kitchens around the world, especially useful for preparing stews, side dishes, sandwiches, and quick recipes.
Among its properties, its high protein content and energy contribution stand out, although it may contain added sodium due to the preservation process. It is important to choose options with low preservative and salt content for a more balanced diet.
