I always wash the outside of the can before opening them up as I don't know where these cans have been (a lot of stuff seems to come from overseas nowadays) germs might be on them - can openers pierce the metal and there some contaminants may get in the product

5 minutes is quite alot of precious water going down the drain. I put my veggies in a strainer and just run them under the water quickly and that is enough.

I do that with all of my canned products too; tuna, beans, etc. and I think it really helps too.
I also rinse my frozen vegetables before I use them. It seems to just cut down on that frozen taste.
Thanks for the hint!
Smoochie
I have accumulated many canned foods. There is a great variation in quality between brands and types of cans used (some with metal liners, some with white-coated liners). I am suspicious of any metals or coatings leeching into the canned contents, and there is usually a lot of sodium. So, rinse, rinse, rinse!
If there is an off-taste, contact the manufacturer and maybe they will send you complementary coupons for your dissatisfaction; and don't hesitate to throw out that can of food and try a better or different can. So many commercial canned foods taste terrible. I recently tossed some green beans, then opened some of a different brand and they were wonderful in flavor after rinsing.
