Beans=sodium : (

I have been eating a lot of beans lately and I love them but my sodium is really taking a hit. I wonder how much of the sodium I am rinsing off if I am thoroughly rinsing them before using them? Anyone?

    probably quite abit, but the only way to control it would be buying the dried out beans and doing it yourself. anything canned you are pretty much stuck.

    There are actually brands of canned beans that make no-salt-added versions. That's all I buy now. I buy the "Kuner's" brand, but I'm sure there are different no-sodium-added brands in different areas. In my area they're available in all the regular grocery stores.

    Just don't buy the canned beans and your problem will be solved. :)
