It’s time to celebrate the real super foods in your kitchen, those everyday ‘cupboard heroes’ that will ensure your diet is packed with nutrients, vitamins and – above all – taste.
Ingredients such as lentils, tinned vegetables and tinned fish are much more versatile than you might think! We’ve created a Cupboard Heroes recipe generator to help you out.
Simply type in your cupboard (or fridge, or freezer) staples and discover delicious and healthy recipes that can also help reduce your risk of cancer.

If, like the majority of Brits, tuna and pasta are your favourite store cupboard staple you’ll find plenty of recipes that appeal. Or perhaps you have lentils languishing in the back of your cupboard, and you’d like to give them a little more love?
In our recent survey, dried pulses were the least popular item in cupboards round the country. However, they’re an excellent source of protein and contain lots of dietary fibre which can help protect against colorectal cancer as well as weight gain.

Are you following our cancer prevention guidelines? If you’re not sure, try out our Cancer Health Check tool. Answer 11 questions to find out how at risk you are of developing cancer. This questionnaire looks at lifestyle choices only, it doesn’t factor in family history or other non-modifiable factors. However, using this tool you can find out more about the different changes you can make to prevent cancer.
Currently, one in two people in the UK will develop cancer in their lifetime. Every gift we receive, whether big or small, helps us achieve our vision of living in a world where no one develops a preventable cancer.
