Take your mind back to March 2020. Was your kitchen counter buried underneath stacked pyramids of chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and packets of penne? Us too! Lockdown stockpiling may have sent sales of store cupboard essentials soaring, but there’s another reason why canned goods, along with frozen and packet food, have come back into fashion.

This is where frozen and canned goods come into their own, as their nutrients are preserved. Plus, it reduces reliance on ready meals and helps us get into the habit of cooking from scratch.
It’s no wonder Waitrose & Partners has reported a rise in canned fish – sales of mackerel and anchovies rose by 17% last summer – while chickpeas have been crowned the ultimate winning flavour, ingredient and all round top addition to dishes in 2022, by Tastecard** consumers and chefs.
