Statistics say rinsing reduced sodium by 40% to 60%. I have no idea of how to tell if the result is on the high end or low end, so always count rinsed beans as having 40% less sodium than the label to be on the safe side.
In other health news - got an extremely painful large cyst on my stomach. Doctor cut it open to drain and will remove once it heals and hardens so they don't have to do surgery on something mushy. Unsurprisingly, though this will give relief in the long run, immediately is still painful.
Dear Typo Boy's body:
Give him a fucking break.
I hope you got the good drugs, at least.
Holy Crehole, Gar. That's a lotta cut and excising on the flesh lately.
So....I'm in Roswell.
Raq, in Roswell, with the Trampoline!
Ugh Typo, that's an owie. I can say that I had a cyst removed and I can say that the surgery itself should be a breeze (as long as you don't have a sensitivity to local anesthetics--oops!).
Wishing you surgery soon, Typo.
Ouch!
Does it help if you rinse?
I do not know.
I was all happily hanging out platonically with an ex tonight and the weather went from hot and oppressive to cool and raining like the god's required a liquid sacrifice.
Ugh. Quick surgery and healing~ma, Typo Boy.
Oh no, Typo Boy! This has been a rough couple of months. I'm sorry. Hope it works out easily and in the meantime doesn't give you much trouble.
Yikes, Typo! Surgery ~ma.
I'll go for the quick pain-relief~ma for now, Typo. Everything else falls into place once the pain is dealt with.
I always rinse my beans, not for the sodium, but to help reduce gaseous emissions. I've been buying no salt garbanzos for a while, but I haven't noticed that any other beans offer no salt options. I may have to start paying closer attention.
