~~No Sodium Doesn’t Mean Bland Food
According to NEERS data, 48% of the participants from various facilities in the SNAP-Ed program, showed improvement in reducing their sodium intake after completing the Healthy Choices for Every Body Education Series. A total of 67 people graduated from the SNAP-Ed program in 2017.
A lady with several health concerns was limited on her sodium intake. She complained that without salt her foods had little flavor and tasted bland. After receiving a sample of the no-salt spice blend and adding it to several dishes, she commented on how it enhanced the flavor so that she no longer missed the salt in the foods. She also prepared several recipes of the spice blend and gave them away as gifts to friends with similar diet limitations.
