EXPERT TIPS:
Why Should I drain and Rinse Canned Beans?
The liquid in canned beans consists mostly of starch and salt that may change the texture or taste of your dish. Most of our recipes call for draining and rinsing the beans to remove the excess salt and starch. This significantly improves the sodium content of any recipe containing beans.
What is in Italian Seasoning?
Italian Seasoning is a dry spice blend that is sold where the spices and seasonings are sold. It should not be confused with dry Italian salad dressing mix.
Italian Seasoning contains a blend of dried herbs which includes oregano, marjoram, thyme, basil, rosemary, and sage.
