Canning started in jars. The process was invented in France in 1795 by Nicholas Appert, a chef who was determined to win the prize of 12,000 francs offered by Napoleon for a way to prevent military food supplies from spoiling. Appert canned meats and vegetables in jars sealed with pitch and by 1804 opened his first vacuum-packing plant. It was a French military secret that soon leaked across the English Channel Reference Link: http://www.delmonte.com/news/cans1/body.htm

yes i agree with delmonte. I read the English did it during the Napolionic wars. They left samples in the War Office in London in the late 1700's. After WW2 they were rediscovered and tested and found to be edible and with vitamins still intact.
