Herbamare Seasoned Salt Substitute Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-4258

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup sea salt
1/4 cup dried parsley
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon sage
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon dried kelp

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor and chop until smooth and blended.

Tips:

  • Use potassium-based salt substitutes: These are the most commonly available and widely accepted salt substitutes. They are typically made with potassium chloride, which has a similar taste to sodium chloride (regular salt), but without the harmful effects of sodium.
  • Experiment with different types of salt substitutes: There are many different types of salt substitutes available, each with its own unique flavor profile. Experiment with different types to find one that you like. Some popular options include:
    • Potassium chloride
    • Potassium citrate
    • Magnesium sulfate
    • Calcium chloride
  • Start with a small amount and adjust to taste: When using a salt substitute, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Salt substitutes can be more concentrated than regular salt, so it's important to use them sparingly.
  • Use salt substitutes in moderation: While salt substitutes can be a helpful way to reduce sodium intake, it's important to use them in moderation. Consuming too much potassium can lead to health problems, such as high blood pressure and kidney problems.
  • Talk to your doctor before using salt substitutes: If you have any health concerns, talk to your doctor before using salt substitutes. Some salt substitutes may interact with certain medications or medical conditions.

Conclusion:

Salt substitutes can be a helpful way to reduce sodium intake and maintain a healthy diet. However, it's important to use them in moderation and to choose a salt substitute that is right for you. If you have any health concerns, talk to your doctor before using salt substitutes.
