Canned Food
The best thing about canned food is that the food inside of the can is preserved in a way that makes it last much longer than fresh food. This means that cans of fish, vegetables, and pulses can sometimes last for years at the back of your cupboard! However, it's important to note that these canned foods aren't invincible. For starters, they need to be stored in a dry and cool place if you want to make them last.
