I wanted a simple meal -- succotash! (I know, I'm weird.)

Anyway, got out a bag of store brand baby lima beans and a bag of store brand corn. While the limas were cooking, I read the ingredients list: lima beans, salt added as a processing aid. Whoa!

Limas - 1/2 cup, 100 cal, 240 mg sodium, 380 mg potassium
Corn - no salt added.

Checked Birds Eye brand limas on the net and they don't add salt. For 1/2 cup of their "Pure & Simple" limas - 6.8 mg sodium. Big difference.

Caveat emptor.
