  • First of all, you’re making great steps by changing your diet and asking questions like this! Small steps are sustainable steps.

    Canned beans and veggies will definitely retain a lot of their salt regardless of rinsing because of osmosis. You should be able to find low salt/no salt added versions of more common items like tomatoes and black beans - try tasting the difference for yourself! Properly salted things don’t taste salty, because salt will boost other flavors before you taste it. I’ll also echo the recommendation of frozen veggies, and if you have the time and patience for it, dried beans are super cheap and easy to make. But the most important thing is knowing what you can handle as a routine, so if canned is what works for you, then don’t be ashamed.
