Salt - the traditional seasoning of choice - has been linked to high blood pressure. As a result, many no-salt and low-salt seasoning mixes now are on the market. You can also make them at home using the following recipes.
Daily Sodium Intake
Health professional recommend a daily sodium intake below 2,400 mg. About one-third of the average daily intake of sodium comes from salt added to food during cooking or at the table.
Because one teaspoon of salt has about 2,000 mg sodium, you can substantially reduce your sodium intake by substituting a homemade seasoning mix that uses herbs and spices rather than salt.
j Herb Vs Spice
What’s the difference? Herbs are leaves of plants and shrubs with nonwoody stems. Spices come from bark, roots, fruit, seeds or flowers of plants.
Spices and herbs can be used to enhance the flavor of a fat-or sodium-reduced food. Experiment with small amounts to find an acceptable seasoning level. Powdered herbs are stronger than crumbled, and dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs. If a recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon powdered herb you can use 3/4 to 1 teaspoon crumbled or flaked, or 2 teaspoons fresh herb.
