Using Canned Vegetables

I have accumulated many canned foods. There is a great variation in quality between brands and types of cans used (some with metal liners, some with white-coated liners). I am suspicious of any metals or coatings leeching into the canned contents, and there is usually a lot of sodium. So, rinse, rinse, rinse!

If there is an off-taste, contact the manufacturer and maybe they will send you complementary coupons for your dissatisfaction; and don't hesitate to throw out that can of food and try a better or different can. So many commercial canned foods taste terrible. I recently tossed some green beans, then opened some of a different brand and they were wonderful in flavor after rinsing.
