15. I ordered this salt substitute

We cut out the salt last fall and any condiments, like catsup, I buy in the no-salt version. Yes, the Heinz version of no-salt catsup is also more expensive.

This last bottle I purchased, however, was "salted" with something called "AlsoSalt." I ordered some, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Here's what Dr. Gourmet says about it (that it doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste).

I like it in the catsup--don't notice a difference between AlsoSalt and regular salt.

Doing half and half is a good idea imo, gives your palate a little time to catch up. nt EFerrari Apr 2012 #16
