By the strictest definition of the term, practically everything we eat is a processed food.
- If you cut the leafy part off a stalk of celery, you have processed it.
- Any food that comes in a can has been processed.
- Any bag of frozen fruit or vegetables has been processed.
- That milk that you pour on your processed corn flakes has been processed.
- Any loaf of organic, non-GMO, gluten-free bread that you buy in a store has been processed.
- Any loaf of bread that you bake in your own oven has been processed.
- Any food that you cook in any way has been processed.
