For health reasons.

Yeah but it says right on the front that it's half potassium chloride and half sodium chloride.

I don't understand this post. Salt doesn't mean sodium. NaCl and KCl are both salts, and this is a 50/50 blend with less sodium (Na) for the people who need/want that. Am I missing something?

As stated right there on the label, some of the NaCl has been replaced with taster’s choice KCl. So it was never pure sodium to begin with, due to all that pesky chlorine and now about half of the Na has been replaced with Potassium.

"Pure sodium"

OP is as deranged as Morton.

They can't call it a salt substitute because it still has salt. Some people are told to cut down on salt, so would be attracted to something that tastes salty but has less salt in it. I get why it's funny, but it seems reasonable to me.

Does it still work against demons and spirits?

Pure sodium you say? that will surely give your dishes an extra kick

It’s half potassium chloride, that can cause you heart issues too if you get to much of it.

The container is only half full.

We Dutch call it “Kalium zout” or Low Sodium Salt. The brand I buy is iodized and has 70% less natrium. And yeah, it is for health reasons, like heart condition, high blood pressure and other medical ailments, or people who want to eat less salt in their diets.

Anyway, what you are looking at is 100% salt and original op (the one on xitter) is an idiot.

i've seen salt with high fructose corn syrup added to it... so technically less salt?

Would be cool to find out it's 50% sodium chloride and 50% chlorine.

Open the box to eternal peace.

Wait until you see "lite Vodka" which is just Vodka watered down to 40 proof and sold at the same price.

Double the chloride. Yum

Good product for when you're on furosemide, bad product for spironolactone.

is the sodium interchanged with sugar? i would be dissapointed if not, its the least they can do

While this uses potassium chloride to cut down on sodium, does a mix of sodium chloride and MSG have the same effect? MSG has sodium, but it looks like not much per unit weight.

So... is it just half full? Or is just it mostly chloride? 🤔

Hey, we invented fat-free "butter" so why not

(Edit: sarcasm, to be clear)

ITT: people not getting the joke.

could be rock salt too, ie mix with other minerals
