Sample Recipes

Note: Sodium is a mineral found in salt.  All salts are high in sodium.  Most foods have a trace amount of natural sodium in their composition. The idea of salt-free preparation is not to add any additional salt for flavour.  For example, some foods such as, meats, seafood, eggs,  and dairy naturally contain sodium. This sodium content is unavoidable. Participants must not add additional salt for flavour.
