The Truth About Rinsing Canned Tuna Before Consumption

Canned tuna is a popular snack due to its high protein content, but it also contains high levels of sodium. Rinsing canned tuna in water for at least three minutes can reduce its sodium content by up to 80%. However, this may also reduce its calcium content.
