Buying ready-made foods

When you buy anything ready-made, choose the one whose ingredient list is closest to just the food itself, with no added sugar or salt.

Examples

Chickpeas: “chickpeas, water”.
Peanut butter: “100% peanuts”.
Soy milk: “water, soybeans”.
Chopped tomatoes: “tomatoes, tomato juice”.
On the label, look for “no added sugar” and “no added salt”.
