About Seasoned salt

Seasoned salt is a blend of table salt combined with a mixture of herbs, spices, and sometimes flavor enhancers such as MSG or dehydrated garlic and onion. Commonly used in American, European, and global cuisines, it adds a flavorful twist to dishes without the need to prepare individual seasonings. The nutritional profile of seasoned salt includes sodium as the primary mineral, varying levels of trace minerals from the added spices, and negligible calories per serving. However, its sodium content can range from 350 to 550 mg per 1/4 teaspoon, depending on the blend, making it something to use in moderation.

Health Benefits

• Rich in sodium, which is essential for maintaining proper fluid balance and nerve function when consumed at appropriate levels.
• Added herbs such as paprika and turmeric may contain antioxidants like beta-carotene, which support overall cellular health.
• Some blends include garlic or onion powder, both of which have compounds such as allicin that may promote heart health.
