Sodium in canned beans and legumes
I was looking at some cans of black beans and chickpeas I had.

They both had higher sodium than I would have expected. Much higher than non-canned varieties.

I am wondering where does that sodium lie? Is the sodium in the liquid that the beans are packaged into? Does the nutritional info take into account the liquid proportionately? Can I rinse them thoroughly to reduce the sodium?
