NoSalt Original Sodium-Free Salt Alternative, 11 oz

My doctor had words with me about sodium. NoSalt had the answer. This potassium chloride-based salt alternative lets you season, cook, and bake using the exact same measurements as regular salt, which means no recipe math and no sad, flavorless chicken. The taste is not identical to sodium chloride, and I want to be upfront about that. There's a slightly different edge to it, but your palate adjusts quickly. What it does is deliver that savory punch to food without any sodium, and for people managing blood pressure or on sodium-restricted diets, that distinction is huge. One important note: if you have kidney disease, diabetes, or are on certain medications including potassium-sparing diuretics, check with your doctor first since the potassium content is significant. For everyone else managing general sodium reduction, this is a dependable, affordable pantry staple that does exactly what it advertises.

First let me say, I really like salty foods. Now that I am older, hypertension is starting to show up when they take my blood pressure while I am at the doctor's office. Of course, the recommendation was to limit my intake of salt, specifically sodium. Now sodium is an essential electrolyte which made me want to learn how much was my intake and how much should I lower my intake too. Making a long story short, I also stumbled across learning from the US RDA that I was fairly deficient in potassium, another essential electrolyte, by about 50% while my sodium intake was 3-5 times greater than the US RDA. Coincidentally, while not only being far off balance in my intake of these 2 essential electrolytes, but while sodium can increase hypertension, potassium can decrease it. No wonder my hypertension was getting so out of control... my dietary intake of these essential electrolytes were seriously off balance. One of my initial steps to reverse that situation was to convert to "No Salt". First let me say, my main effort to overcome my potassium deficiency is to strive to get my potassium levels up through learning to eat foods that are high in potassium, not by salting more and more with potassium chloride. This review is about this potassium chloride product, which is one form of a salt product, and how it helped me eliminate sodium chloride (regular table salt) and has nothing to do with increasing or decreasing my overall salt intake. When I first started to use "No Salt" to replace regular table salt, I had to use a little at a time at first because I could really taste the metal (potassium) and I wasn't surprised by that because I suspect I am a "supertaster" (feel free to look up that term, it's a real thing). After reading that many other countries use potassium chloride as their table salt while the U.S. uses sodium chloride as our table salt, I was hoping it was only a matter of time that I would get used to "No Salt" which is based on potassium chloride. To my utter delight, that has happened. It took about 2 months and persistence is key, but now I no longer notice the a metal taste from the potassium! (In the beginning I used to make the mistake of substituting equal amounts of "No Salt" to what I would normally use with regular table salt and I was overwhelming the food with the metal taste of the potassium. Don't make this mistake :-) ) If you are like me and need to lower (not eliminate) your sodium intake, I highly recommend "No Salt" and start out slowly. If you don't taste any metal taste, then start salting it to what you like. If you are like me, then just ease into it and eventually, you will not notice any metal tastes in your food. Being patient and waiting the 2 months (hopefully less) is well worth it to achieve the substitution from table (sodium chloride) salt to "No Salt" (potassium chloride salt). I use this all the time now when salting regardless of what I am salting, from cooking such as in boiling water for making pastas and such to directly salting the food I am about to eat.

I have been buying the no salt from my mom for a while. It is a wonderful low sodium alternative. However, now she’s been put on low potassium so we can’t use it! If her medicine ever allows her to be on a potassium again, will be back on no salt! I even use it at my house now you cannot tell the difference in the salt except in the baking. You do not want to use it when you’re baking.

great product for the price

Compared three brands side by side. When sticking your finger in a pile and tasting, they all have a slight metallic taste, and therefore are noticably not what I'm used to. When adding to food during the cooking process, they all are a perfectly fine and almost identical replacement for regular table salt. When used as a finishing salt, they're ok flavorwise, but they all are very fine-grained. This situation is where you'd want to use your ration of sodium in the form of kosher or perhaps Himalayan pink.

NoSalt brand KCl remains the standard. K is needed by the body in a ratio of 2:1 with Na, at least. So, for one gram of sodium, two grams of potassium are needed to balance it. NoSalt is ideal for this purpose. Blood pressure is reduced and excess water weight is shed. I can't recommend this brand highly enough since no other gives as much for the money. Potassium Chloride is not the only kind of K available on the market, but it is the easiest to acquire and the most versatile. Those companies who partner with Amazon are reliable and trustworthy. I have only good things to say. As for the flavor, KCl is what it is, potassium salt, it does not taste like sodium nor does any other brand, they're literally all the same; don't let others fool you--the only difference is in their heads. KCl is KCl and NoSalt brand is the best.

What a waste of money! I'm on a salt restricted diet and I was so excited to try the "No-Salt" because of the great reviews but I am now convinced that none of the reviews on this product are real. Obviously no one has ever tasted the product. It is disgusting! I tried a little by itself before preparing some ground beef with it and it tasted God awful. But nonetheless, I thought I'd give it a try at the very least. Let's just say that the meat was inedible and even my outside cats refused to eat it. That should tell you something (and no, it's not my cooking - the meat was seasoned with some garlic and onions plus the "No-Salt"). At least the less discerning tastebuds of our neighborhood possum gave it a chance and the meat wasn't a complete waste. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It tastes NOTHING like salt or like anything that could be considered a salt substitute. I would rather use NO SALT than "No-Salt." DISGUSTING.

Great. Tastes just like salt.

Increíble si sabe a sal, estoy muy contento porque yo como mucha sal y con este producto que tiene 0 sodio el sabor no cambia mucho, yo empecé mezclando 50% de sal y 50% de este producto y el sabor muy bueno, lo recomiendo para los que quieren bajar su consumo de sodio

NoSalt is the perfect replacement for anyone concerned about their blood pressure and the role sodium plays in maintaining dangerously high blood pressure levels. NoSalt is a premium product. Its taste and texture are the same as sodium-based salt, but without the high blood pressure-causing sodium. As a salt lover, I have been an immediate convert to NoSalt. Something I know my doctors will be very happy about.

Good quality product . I use it for a long time ! Delivered on time .

Muy buena opcion para quienes padecen hypertencion deben limitar o eliminar el consumo de sodio.

I prefer this to so called low salt products as this is a genuine salt alternative, i.e. no sodium. It has the same taste of salt which is good but is expensive.
