Exploring the History of Canned Foods!

🔔 Subscribe now with all notifications on for Crazy Food History.
The #history of #cannedfoods can be traced back to the early 19th century when Napoleon Bonaparte, in need of a reliable way to preserve food for his vast army, offered a cash prize to anyone who could come up with an effective solution. This challenge led to the innovation of a French chef and confectioner named Nicolas Appert, who spent over a decade experimenting with different preservation techniques.
Appert's breakthrough came in 1809 when he discovered that food placed in glass jars and then heated to high temperatures could be preserved for extended periods without spoiling. This method essentially killed the bacteria responsible for spoilage, and the sealed jars prevented new bacteria from entering. Appert's technique, known as the "Appertization" process, won him the cash prize offered by #Napoleon, and the concept of canning was born.

Sorta glanced over the fact that cans were originally welded closed with lead solder and it killed entire expeditions lol

Appert didn't actually win the prize, which is a monumental injustice. But the French government paid him the same prize money a few years later because they recognized the mistake
