Nutritionally speaking, many canned foods are comparable to their cooked fresh and frozen counterparts, and canned foods are available year-round, so you can easily and conveniently use them anytime in your favorite dishes. One of the main concerns with canned foods is the sodium content, which tends to be high. These days, many companies are reducing the sodium in their foods, but to reduce the sodium content on your own, draining and rinsing are effective ways to reduce the sodium content of canned beans.
