Homonym: Canned (Stored)
"Canned" refers to food that has been preserved in a sealed container, typically made of metal or glass. This method helps to extend the shelf life of the food by preventing the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. Common examples of canned foods include vegetables, fruits, soups, and meats.
The process of canning involves cooking the food, placing it in a container, and then sealing it to create a vacuum. This technique was developed in the early 19th century and has since become a popular way to store food for long periods. Canned foods are often convenient and easy to use in various recipes.
