Yup…. Best Stop is a good one.

I think some of those have low salt or no salt versions.

Tony's was designed so that when the food was properly salted, the rest of the seasoning would be just right. If you use a lower salt alternative and follow the same rule of thumb, your food will naturally taste spicier (hotter).

On another point, I've never been sure what "no salt" means - does it mean no sodium of any sort, or does it mean it has a substitute for sodium chloride (like a potassium-based flavoring agent)?

I have NuNu's in the cabinet RN and man I love it. Haven't had a jar of Tony's in my house in probably 15yrs.

But my favorite is Art's Freedom Fry Seasoning from Targil's. Sodium is 240mg. It's obviously meant to be a french fry seasoning but I use it as an all-purpose. It's also ground finer than the standard grind in Cajun seasonings which is nice.

Also just picked up a jar of Kinder's SPG at Sam's. It's called The Blend. Fantastic. Sodium is at 180mg.

I get the Jean Pierre's Season All with no salt. I can always add in the salt I do want.

I prefer all seasoning blends without salt for three reasons:

1. true or not, I always feel like they are raping me on the salt in a mix, salt is only about 50 cents a pound

2. having many blends with salt in them takes up a lot of room in the spice cabinet

3. the main reason is I like to have the ability to balance the salt content in every dish, it does so much more than just add the taste of salt using a salt blend just limits the range of salt you can use

That is the difference with Tony's, I noticed that a while back.

Salt isn't bad per se. Every piece of meat we cook (properly) is nearly caked in salt. That's fine. Having the same amount of salt in mac and cheese, no bueno, I guess.
