Ah. Wrong version. Morton's 'Lite Salt' is what you want. No oddball flavor.
50% less sodium and won't cause your potasium blood reading so much trouble.
Also, unless you or Dennis believe the internet rumor (debunked totally, Doctor
lost his license to practice for falsified data), add msg but just literally a
pinch or 2. It's umami replaces salt desire. Besure to taste the food before
salting if adding a pinch between thumb and forefinger as it may not need any.
You can make the same recipe with 2 pinches of msg and 1/2 that nu salt but
with morton's lite salt in it's place.
Don's been on it since about 2003.
