low salt dishes?
Salt is the chemical compound of sodium and chlorine.
Potassium, or artificial salt, replaces sodium in "Low-salt
soy sauce" and "low-sodium salt" . Chicken powder is
manufactured from a wide range of Ingredients including
salt, flavour enhancers and chicken flesh, among which over
half of its ingredient is salt. These flavourants contain
less sodium than that of salt (Table 1), but are generally
more expensive. More importantly, we should not let high
salt food or flavour enhancers numb our taste buds. Learn to
appreciate the natural flavour of food and earn great
health.
