salt

[looobylooo]

hi all
does anyone know the name of the salt you can buy thats 'low in salt' (lol)
and have you tried it, is it ok?

just trying to cut back a bit thats all and thought using that might help....?

[Milvus]

It's called Lo Salt and is potassium based rather than sodium based. In taste there is no difference

[woofgang]

I actually find it tastes a bit bitter...but I can't use artificial sweeteners either because they taste so awful to me.
Dh and I have recently cut back on salt by....cutting back on salt! I just stopped using it when I cook and only adding it at the table AFTER tasting the food. Its worked for us.

[ummmm]

I can't tell any difference either....

Rummaged through the cupboard and found some Saxa So-Low 50% less sodium salt.
The baulk of this is potassium Chloride, overall 19% sodium. Less than half that of regular salt.

I tried So-Low and hated it, so gave up salt completely. I still miss it and rejoice if I get pre-salted frittes when on hoiliday.

[Henkle2]

I cant tell the difference McMouse, seems like salt to me.

[ummmm]

I hate salt on my food.

It goes in the food as it cooks....that's it. I cringe when I watch people putting salt on food...

[Henkle2]

Just checked this salt again, BBE Feb 2008.....
Shows how much I use!
Still use it though, how the hell can salt go off?

There are no Best Before date requirements on salt, sugar, vinegar, and honey.
