What kind of salt has the least amount of sodium?
Table salt, sea salt, and Kosher salt all have roughly equal amounts of sodium, if you are using salt to taste. Kosher has larger grains, so it measures differently – so if you switched to that, and used the same measure of salt, it would have less sodium. This effect is negated if salt is applied until it tastes ‘right.’ Potassium Chloride is a salt substitute, a salt that does not contain sodium. It tastes a lot like salt (I’ve eaten it), and is used like table salt (NaCl). You can buy it in any fairly well stocked grocery. I think the brand is NoSalt, but there might be others. There is also LoSalt, it’s 2/3 Potassium Chloride, and 1/3 regular salt, that might be easier to switch to – “LoSalt contains only one third the sodium of common salt, yet it has all the flavour, and looks, cooks and tastes the same. And as it contains the two natural body minerals – potassium and sodium in a 2 to 1 ratio, it’s a great way to get the low salt habit going.”
