i eat canned chili on a regular basis, Nallys classic chili to be exact.
anyways, before i cook it -i drain about 90% of the contents through a drainer
and then i run water through it, i figure most of the sodium is in the sauce anyways
so if do this i can cut out most of the sodium in the chili. but does the sodium in
fact in the sauce or does it also get absorbed into the beans itself?
it's about 2 grams of sodium a 12 oz. can.
i would cook raw organic beans but it takes like three hours and the i need to soak them overnight for like 12 hours! i like the canned verson because it's soo easy to cook!

This is a reply to # 346,742Hi Rygar -
I'm not familiar with that particular brand. Is it from the health food store?
If not, you really want to watch for other menacing substances besides sodium, for example MSG, artificial colorings, etc.
Anything canned is not your best choice for something you eat a lot of -- and when you do eat it, be sure you are eating a lot of fresh vegetables with it to help balance it out.
I would look for the best brand out there. Probably the best one I know of is Shelton's Turkey Chili in a can. It has organic turkey. But it's still more of a rare occasion kind of "treat" than something you want to have regularly.
Hope that helps!
