It seems like if you make things from scratch and avoid salt, you could do low sodium. So many of the convenience products are very high in sodium. I would also think that googling online would get you a lot as well. Wonder if BlindMiceMart has anything. Sharon -Original Message- From:

Table salt has chemicals that keep the salt from clumping in humid weather. Hence the slogan, when it rains, it pours. If you're using the salt for brining, table salt won't work. Sometimes bleaches are used so the salt is a whiter white color. Sea salt and Kosher salt don't have these

I don't have any recipes at this time. The old thought was to take the salt shaker off the table and use much less in cooking. The new thought is to keep all salt out of cooking and use salt at the table. Apparently the taste of salt is stronger when used at the table and it doesn't get

Someone on one of the cooking shows or in a newspaper article said that chefs like the Kosher salt because they can throw a handful of it into a meal and it still doesn't taste over salty. You do need more of it than regular table salt, and it has more of a coarse texture. I am not sure if the
