What happens if you don't rinse cannellini beans?

Hi everyone! I sometimes forget to rinse my canned beans before using them. Does it really matter if I don't rinse cannellini beans? What happens if I skip that step? Are there any health or taste impacts I should be aware of? Would love to hear your thoughts!

If you skip rinsing cannellini beans, you might end up with a slightly gritty texture and extra saltiness, especially if they’re canned. Rinsing helps remove some of that sodium and any canning liquid that can be starchy or slimy. If you're short on time, just give them a quick rinse for a better overall flavor!
