Produce, beans, lean meats, eggs and dairy all have natural amounts of sodium, but it’s easily controlled when preparing food at home. When it comes to packaged and pre-made meals, however, just one bite can push you over your daily recommended dose. Using cooking techniques such as roasting, sautéing, braising and grilling helps to boost the flavour, while keeping added sodium to a bare minimum. Try enhancing your everyday meals with citrus juice, fresh and dried herbs, spices and good-quality olive oils, or try any number of these low-sodium dishes.
