Stop draining canned beans into the sink, thats flavor you're wasting
Tbh I see people rinse beans until the water runs clear and I cringe every time. That liquid is loaded with starch and salt that thickens your chili or stew naturally, I've been using it for 20 years. Last month I made a 3-bean soup with zero added thickener and it came out perfect, has anyone else tried keeping the bean juice or am I the odd one out here?

Have you actually tasted that liquid straight from the can? It's like salty, metallic swamp water that coats your tongue in a weird film. Rinsing gets rid of that tinny taste and cuts the sodium by a huge chunk, which matters when you're watching your blood pressure. Plus, if I want a thick soup, I'll just simmer it longer or mash some beans into it, not pour in murky junk that can overpower everything else. You do you, but I'll keep my sink drains clear and my meals tasting like the actual ingredients, not the can they came in.
