Cooking Tip: Draining and rinsing canned goods, including vegetables, beans, and legumes, helps remove any excess sodium.
Keep it Healthy: Legumes, such as black-eyed peas and beans (black, kidney, and cannellini, for example), add protein and fiber to a meal. Try adding them to soups, salads, and stews.
