The concept is simple. To a wee bit of sea and mountain salt, add other flavors in the form of spices, herbs, seeds & zests, then when you need that zing on your taste buds, only a fraction of it will come from salt itself. Let's not be alarmists. Most of the sodium we consume comes from processed and fast food. Very little comes from foods we cook at home. But low sodium restaurant food can be bland. Sometimes they don't know how to create flavor w/out sugar, salt and fat. So pack some punch in your pocket or purse and be ready to take seize the day in a low sodium way. All of these are designed to be more of a meal topper, for that extra jolt you get from a float of salt, pepper or hot sauce on the surface of your dishes. But, once you fall in love w/ one or all of them, you'll get ideas. Pancakes flavored w/ these blends, vegetables saluted w/ nothing more than a bit of evoo or sesame oil and an Avanti Low Sodium Spice Blend will have that crave-ability we desire.
