Sodium content in canned foods

[Guest guest]

Leisa Hyatt "confessed" to using canned beans due to her busy schedule, and Francesca followed-up with concerns about the added sodium in canned beans (true of canned tuna fish and tomato products as well, including V-8 juice and low-sodium varieties.)

Obviously we can't rinse the tomato products, but I suppose rinsing canned tuna and canned beans would at least help to reduce the salt content. I'd never thought of doing so before now, but it makes sense. The food has probably absorbed tons of salt, but the fluids they are canned in must be worse.
