Did You Know?

The Nutrition Facts panel on canned vegetables must list all of the sodium in the can, despite the fact that much of the sodium is in the water surrounding the vegetables and isn’t consumed. Draining the vegetables reduces sodium by 36%, and draining and rinsing lowers sodium by 41%.

When you are purchasing canned vegetables, look for labels that say ‘reduced sodium,’ ‘low sodium,’ or ‘no salt added'.
