Best no-salt alternative for an old grumpy man who loves salt but can’t have it now Best no-salt alternative for an old grumpy man who loves salt but can’t have it now
Open Discussion

My dad’s health has been in steady decline for years, but recently has taken a huge downturn. The man absolutely loves tons of salt in his food, but his marching orders now are strictly no added salts.

He’s not a fan of the metallic potassium based salt alternatives. He does like pepper, so I’m try to find a seasoning blend he can sprinkle on things that gives him some kind of flavor. Something with pepper, maybe some onion or garlic and something to replace the zing of the salt? He doesn’t like spicy.

Any suggestions? Currently looking at stuff from Penzey’s but open to others.
