Will rinsing my canned foods reduce the amount of sodium?!


Question: Will rinsing my canned foods reduce the amount of sodium!?
i eat a lot of canned vegetables and things daily, and im aware of the high sodium content!. i probably go over my daily RDA, (recommended daily amount) does anyone know if i rinse them, will this get rid of most of the salt!? or am i wasting my efforts!? thanks!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yep!. Sure can, rinse away!. Just rinsing beans can cut the salt by 1/3!. You can also reduce the complex sugars in some canned foods by rinsing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Rinsing your canned veggies will get rid of some of the salt, but the amount is pretty miniscule!. Unfortunatly the salt soaks into the veggies!. If you're worried about salt, switch to frozen veggies!.!.!.you'll also get more of the other nutrients that way!. The canning process eliminates most of the nutrients in the veggies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wash my pasta and my ground meat but never did I think about washing my canned goods ~

Well, I guess it is better to buy fresh veggies or frozen veggies

I wonder if you get fat free raviolli if you wash it then it would work I guess not but would be really nice

Hmmm Good thoughtWww@Answer-Health@Com

It won't hurt!. But it won't help all that much either!. The sodium soaks into some of the vegys!. But some of your less absorbant vegys can be better strained, rinsed and cooked in plain water!. Raw vegys are the best of course but they are so expensive!.!.!.right!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com

no!. but the labels will get soggy and might come off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it might, but i think it would depend on what vegetable it is, it might also have absorbed the salt!. so washing might not do anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I always drain the water off any canned goods that I use for the same reason!.
Of course, you can always buy the sodium free or low sodium canned goods, but they cost a little more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are getting rid of vitamin and nutritional value of your vegetables!. Try the ones that are unsalted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Washing may reduce the risk of the cancerous materials, but I recommend you to stay away from canned food!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, but only slightly, they have canned foods with less sodium in them alreadyWww@Answer-Health@Com

about 90% of the sodiumWww@Answer-Health@Com

to a certain degree because they are packed in water and saltWww@Answer-Health@Com
