IIRC, most dried beans are not high in salt, either, but they require considerably more time to prepare.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-43946784006559701702021-05-14T14:59:30.403-04:002021-05-14T14:59:30.403-04:00As someone on a low-sodium diet, it should have co...As someone on a low-sodium diet, it should have come to me to read the label on our canned beans.
