Thanks Jeff (and also to "echo", for your suggestion to rinse)

I did a little research at the store today, and found a brand of frozen peas that were 1mg/Cal sodium, and the same company had organic frozen peas that were double that amount, yet both listed the ingredients as just peas.

I guess some of these data are to be taken as an approximation only. I found the same thing with protein in broccoli. Eat2Live states 45% protein, yet I found online sources stating as low as 30%.

Regards,
Steve
