Look for Lite Salts

“Lite” salts are commonly made by replacing part of the sodium with potassium (you’ll see “potassium chloride” in the ingredients listing). But they still contain sodium and may not be appropriate for some people following sodium-restricted diets.

For example, 1/4 teaspoon Morton Lite Salt Mixture has:

• 290 mg sodium
• 350 mg potassium
