Why are dried beans healthier than canned beans? (Besides being lower in sodium).?
Answers:
For the same reason that eating an actual apple is healthier than frozen applesauce.
Anything that is processed is not as healthy as something that you cook yourself. When food goes through the processing machinery, it loses vitamins and minerals the longer it sits there. Closer to nature = healthier.
Of course, I am not saying that canned beans are unhealthy. They are healthier than most other processed food, and the slight health difference may not be worth the difference in convenience.
