Lime juice. I know the OP probably means salt/sodium substitutes to sprinkle on food (which all taste nasty to me), but as a salt alternative, I like to squeeze some fresh lime juice on some foods. It provides a tang that makes me not miss salt so much.

its pretty fun to experiment with spices to sub for salt.

believe it or not ive really gotten in to stuff like Chili powder and cumin and basil. sprinkle some of that on some chicken or event skirt steak. YUMMY

on a side note, it annoys the shite out of me when you make a dish and people automatically go for the salt without ever tasting it first.

this is used in a lot of salt substitutes, which, frankly, i find tastes horrible.

as others have suggested, just reduce the amount of salt and use other herbs and spices more. salt is an acquired taste and, if you reduce your intake, over time your tastes will adjust as well. before you know it, you won't miss it at all.

I started using Mrs. Dash when I was making some dishes for a friend on doctor ordered low sodium diet. I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

Also agree with the suggestions of using more herbs and spices in addition to acidic flavors like fruit juices and vinegar.

I would personally like to have access to pure sodium as a seasoning. It would be a matter off shits and giggles. Who is the first person to make the sodium interact with oxygen or water. Either one of those two ingredients are going to make for a few WTF moments.

PS, a block of sodium will break windows upon meeting water.

I find I use a lot less when I use high quality Mediterranean sea salt.


I really like the whole foods brand.
