Protein Sources

I had hoped sea salt was a little different. Either way we get too much.

We are all better for reducing our salt intake.

You can gradually reduce the amount of salt you add when you cook. As you get used to less salt you will find your food is salty enough.
When you start using other seasonings you can cut salt even further.

There is no doubt that salt adds flavour. I  look to see if a recipe has other salt sources. Canned beans and chick peas  are salty so you do not need more salt.  A little salt adds flavour. Beyond that, the food just tastes salty. If you add too much all you taste is salt.

We were all brought up on too much salt so we all have to break free from it.  I wish they would stop adding so much salt to the foods you buy. I know it is a preservative, but manufacturers go too far.
