So when you log beans on your fitday or dailyplate, do you reduce the amount of sodium? Or do you just know that you sodium intake is less than what the program says?
I haven't been eating beans very often because of the sodium content. I'm missing out on fiber, dagnabbit!
I used a can of beans yesterday that had HFCS and cane syrup in the liquid. I almost always check that in the store, but I guess I was preoccupied that day. They were just plain unflavored kidney beans, so I was surprised to find that in it. I rinsed them, maybe it helped, who knows...
Soaking canned fruits and veggies in water will also remove a good part of the salt and sugar in them. It's an osmosis thing, the sugar and salt will leach into the water.
Canned grean beans are way too salty for my tastes. Often I rinse them and then let them soak in a bowl of water for 10 - 15 minutes to get more of the salt out.
