Chef's answer
Canned beans will save you time. Open the can and you're good to go, no overnight soaking or hours of cooking required. But then, canned beans usually have a whopping amount of sodium. A thorough rinsing and draining can cut the sodium by about 40 percent, according to research cited by the Bean Institute.
