Canned Vegetables

"Vegetables that have been packed into a sterilized can. Not always cooked, but usually. Can be eaten as-is, but better used as an ingredient in a meal."

Canned vegetables are a food item added by the Meals and Munchies expansion. Produced at a Cannery after researching Advanced Food Preservation, canned vegetables never spoil, take 4 years to deteriorate under normal conditions, provide a very solid price of $10.00 per can and can be eaten raw with no penalty for a solid 0.25 nutrition. However, any exotic or uncommon vegetables lose that trait after being canned.

Like all canned goods, they unfortunately cost 1 steel a piece to produce 5 cans, but can be stacked up to 75, meaning they're 5 times more space efficient and can be kept anywhere with no fear of spoiling, making them one of the ultimate survival foods, even slightly better than canned meals, which give a -1 mood penalty, albeit they provide only about half the nutrition. Alternatively, 2 cans can be cooked into a simple meal to almost double the nutritional value, if the fuel or electricity can be spared to do so. Although they will never spoil, they can still be blown up, crushed, burned or left to deteriorate.
