Great Value, No Salt Added, Canned Black Beans, 15 oz Can

These cans are actually full of beans and not the usual mix of what I find to be a substantial amount of liquid and 3/4 or less can of beans. There was very minimal liquid and the cans were packed full of beans. The taste and texture were as good as any other canned beans out there and I appreciate that they are offered in this no salt added option. They cans have the pop top tab so can opener required which is also a bonus in my book.

No sodium/ no added sodium is the way to go. Adding one's own WHOLE salt as needed in far better than the use of sodium, a component of salt. Only 10mg per serving (naturally occurring). One teaspoon (tsp) of "table salt" (sodium) contains approximately 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium, the max allowance according to the RDA (LOL), but this is undeniably high. The average American male consumes significantly more than their generous recommendation, at around 3,400 mg/day. Excess sodium on the regular WILL lead to heart and blood pressure issues, kidney problems and bone loss. Optimally, keep sodium to around 1500 mg/day (Less for woman, children and older men). It's best to add one's own. Plus, this can it has those awesome pull tab lids! The only thing better would be finding Barley Pop inside. Alas, this must do for now. So pop a top and jump on in. Organic or Non-GMO would be the only thing better for beans.
