August 29: Try New Ways to Flavor this More Herbs, Less Salt Day
Reduce your sodium intake by indulging in herbs! While we all need some salt to stay alive, most of us consume too much of it. Salt is present in processed foods and canned goods are often high in sodium. Even home cooks who cook from scratch can develop a tendency to over-salt their food. It is very easy to rely on salt for seasoning even with alternatives available.
Rosemary, mint, oregano, and other herbs can enrich a dish as much as a pinch of salt. It is often just a matter of learning how to use them and Dishfolio food bloggers can help you with ideas. Using some ideas in food styling and online food recipes, you can find alternatives to salt in all your favorite main and side dishes. After you try some of these alternatives, you never know-you may find you no longer miss the salt!
