Question 2

I tasted the salt on its own and it tasted like alum.When I put the salt in  food,the food had a very distinct aftertaste of the salt. Is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Most people seem to taste the low salt as a little sharper than sodium chloride.  Variations of taste in individuals sometimes lead to the experience you are having, just as some individuals do not react to artificial sweeteners as sweet, or notice a strange aftertaste.  I suspect you will have the same experience with any salt combination which contains a large amount of potassium chloride.  The internists seem to believe that the amount of sodium is directly related to elevated blood pressure, and potassium is the most common substitute.  Depending on the spectrum of your taste receptors, you might do better with one of the combinations of spices as a substitute.

Question 4

What kind of salt is used in the product? I was hoping for sea salt.....

Accepted Answer

This salt is one third regular salt and two thirds potassium exactly the  ratio you need to help prevent high blood pressure. You need 3700 milligrams of potassium a day and 2300 milligrams of sodium. This product helps lower your sodium intake but you still must eat a proper diet to keep your sodium in check.
