Lowering salt/sodium content of the canned beans:
Opening the can of beans before using the blender, rinse the beans under hot water. Soak them for 15-30 minutes. Rinse them under hot water again before adding them to the hummus mix in the blender. This lowers the salt content, so sodium content of the beans is lower than that listed on the label, and the recipe's actual sodium content is lower than the listed nutrition info.
