But who knew how much sodium was in there?!
Wowzers. So I logged a meal on nutrimirror (http://www.nutrimirror.com/userhome.php) to see the total amount of stuff we are working with for the entire meal I cooked and BOY was I surprised! Remember the song...beans, beans good for you heart. Uhm yeah not the canned kind. They are packing about 400 mg of sodium in there, same with canned tomato's! Now - I always rinse and drain the beans because i think that bean goo is gross and I read today that it "could" reduce the sodium by about 41% but then someone else says it doesn't. So - the pickle of adding beans for their goodness but then I introduce other badness. oh the dilemma.
As for the tomato's - i do like the kick the Fire Roasted Tomato's brings so perhaps I will stick with that. I am on the hunt for reduced sodium beans...or perhaps making them from scratch! yickes.
