Lo Salt A New Shake On Salt
Salt is a must have in our lives ,especially now in the hot weather.However too much of it can be
Lethal.What to do? You could give up the white stuff or you could try a salt substitute.There in lies another problem.The fake stuff can be metallic tasting and even leave a funny metal after taste.LUckily the United Kingdom
Has given us a great import LO Salt.
This Scottish made seasoning is perfect alternative to regular salt. The taste is pretty close to actual salt and thankfully there is no aftertaste.I would go easy with it however because it does have 450 milligrams of potassium.Be very stringent with LoSalt if you have high potassium levels, have Addison's Disease or kidney problems(you can also bring the salt to your doctor and get his or her opinion and blessing on it). A small pinch goes a long way.Lo Salt has sixty-six percent less sodium than regular salt and is perfect for those with high blood pressure or those just watching their salt intake. Lo Salt comes in both iodized and original.It is sold worldwide and sold coast to coast in the United States.Check Whole Foods, Ralph's and Dominicks either in their condiments or natural food aisles.You can also buy it on Amazon too.
What I like about Lo Salt is the taste.It is intense, sort of on the same level as sea salt.Another plus is that it dissolves easily, making it perfect for cooking and baking.Since the taste is somewhat intense just use a small pinch. A few grains are all you need for a salad or even to sprinkle on fresh picked tomatoes. Lo Salt can be mixed with other spices (and again use as little as possible , the flavor does go a long way) to create rubs or mixed seasonings.The Lo Salt website has a variety of different recipes you can try,from salted pumpkin seeds to tike marsala to Rosemary mashed potatoes.You can also use it in baking and in icings.
The hot summer weather requires we all increase our salt intake.Use Lo Salt for instead of regular salt for a healthier alternative.YOu'll satisfy your need without jeopardizing your health.
