Canned Vegetables: Nutrition Facts and Calories

Canned vegetables provide a convenient way to add vegetables to your meals year-round. This category features a wide variety of products, such as mixed stir-fry vegetables, whole peeled mushrooms, and corn. When selecting canned vegetables, it's helpful to review the Nutrition Facts label. Pay attention to the sodium content, as many canned vegetables contain added salt. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 milligrams. To help manage sodium intake, consider choosing "low sodium" or "no salt added" varieties. Also, check for added sugars; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting added sugars, suggesting at most 10 grams per meal. Look for products with little to no added sugars. Canned vegetables are a good source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. On the ingredient list, the primary vegetable should be listed first, and a shorter list of ingredients generally indicates fewer added components. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
