Just wanted to put this out there for those searching for a low sodium salt/substitute, this Salt For Life product might be something that will work for you. I bought some last week and I have to say that it tastes more like salt than any of the substitutes I've tried. In fact, it tastes nearly identical to the pink Himalayan salt I've been using for years that has 4 times the amount of sodium in it. It isn't a true substitute because it has some salt in it (1 serving has 6% or the RDA). That said, at $1.43/oz, it is rather pricey.

Once I've gone through the bottle I bought, I plan to try this one from Aromasong. It has 8% of the RDA/serving, but is a much better value at $.49/oz. If anyone is already using it, I'd love to hear your opinion. Both products are highly rated (with a lot of reviews) by Amazon consumers.

I do not understand what is going on.

Salt is salt.

What unholy chemical are you ingesting as a “salt substitute”?

Buy a zero salt seasoning (I get from costco, but tonys/slap ya mamma has one) and then add some salt to this and shake it up.

It's a mineral compound...potassium chloride (aka, "potassium salt). The other ingredients are sea salt and silicon dioxide (to prevent caking).


WebMD has this to say about potassium chloride:

Potassium chloride is a naturally occurring salt derived from the ground or sea. It's a potassium-based salt that food manufacturers mostly use to replace sodium chloride, or table salt. In some applications, it can help reduce the presence of sodium by as much as 70%. It doesn’t carry a high health risk like sodium-based salts do.

You can use potassium salts just like regular table salt. Many food companies use potassium chloride as a substitute to lower the sodium levels in their processed foods. As consumers continue to demand lower-sodium products, manufacturers have found potassium chloride to be a safe alternative. It's now the leading reformulation option for reducing sodium levels in food products. Unfortunately, it may leave a metallic aftertaste.?

Which one are you referring to? If it is just white grains, it is probably potassium chloride and by adding salt to it, you are basically just making the products this is about....minus the anti-caking ingredient.
