Have canned beans been soaked?

[hungryabbey]

I am wondering about the digestibility (or gas production) differences of canned vs dry beans... I know that soaking beans can help remove some of the oligosaccharides that cause the gas, but are canned beans presoaked in their processing?? Thanks in advance.

I think soaking is part of the process... but they're not soaked nearly as long as you can do it yourself. I always leave my dried beans in the fridge for a day or two before I cook them, and that gets rid of ALL the unwanted side-effects from eating them.

Aren't canned foods often cooked in the can?
