Looking for salt with lower sodium?
I found out that Kosher salt is much less sodium than regular table salt or sea salt. Of Kosher salt brands, "Diamond crystal" Kosher salt is lowest with 280 mg. per one-fourth tsp., while table salt and sea salt are 590 mg. per one-fourth tsp. Also, Kosher salt is said to taste more salty so you need less.
I wish I'd known this years ago, hope it helps those who need low sodium diets; heart failure, kidney failure, etc. Less sodium is better for everyone, too.
Devorah, please look on kosher salt labels, then look on regular table salt and sea salt slabel. You will find the answer there, the amount of 'sodium' in one-fourth teaspoon. That is your answer above, you can also speak with expert chefs and they will tell you the same thing. It is the way the Kosher salt is cut flat in flakes and the slightly larger grains with often a hollow center that contribute to much less sodium in fourth a tsp. in Kosher salt than in table salt and sea salt. Very important for heart failure, kidney failure, etc.
Divorah and others, Kosher salt such as "Diamond Cryatal" brand has small grains that look like light flakes, it really dissolves instantly and adheres to foods even better than table salt so I read and have seen myself. Thanks for your opinion though.
