Hello my beloved review readers!
Dedicated to lovers of canned vegetables!!!
There was a promotion in Magnit and I managed to buy a can canned beans from "Uncle Vanya", called "Beans in Tuscany". The inscriptions proudly flaunt on the bank - without GMOs and dyes. And the media say that we have everything without GMOs ...

The bank stood for a week, I could not think of what to eat it with to make it interesting. Not invented...
I opened the jar - laying vegetables to the top, and oil or sauce did not appear on top. In my opinion, there is nothing more!
Ate simply, warming up in sausages.
What I want to say is that I liked it, although I always suspect white beans of excessive bitterness. Here it did not taste bitter, and also retained its shape, which is no less important for the external contemplation of the dish.
The number and cutting of vegetables was balanced - no large pieces. The taste is harmonious. No vinegar, no salt, no sugar came to the fore. For me, this appetizer could be eaten not only hot, but also cold, just with brown bread. The amount of spices is just right.
Due to the presence tomato paste in the composition, I was afraid that the stomach would give out pain, but it didn’t happen, from which I concluded that the recipe was competent and correct technological process preparation of this canned product.

Thirdly, do not forget about quality. All components must be strong and ripe. Tomatoes not the first freshness are best left in tomato juice. Give preference to either juicy vegetables, or ripe and fleshy. Unripe fruits are best put aside, although in small quantities they are also suitable.

Not all conservation lovers have a basement for storing jars, so they are looking for ways to save them in the apartment.
Almost all high-rise buildings have balconies, so you can put conservation there. However, first you need to equip the place. To protect the blanks from frost, lay the shelves (the whole cabinet, etc.) with foam. It keeps the internal temperature and keeps cold air out. If it is not possible to purchase material, cover the jars with several warm blankets.
In the apartment itself, you can store only those snacks that contain vinegar. You can allocate a place for conservation in the back cabinet of the kitchen or in another secluded corner.
