This lovely seasoning is a delicious replacement for salt, and is part of a macrobiotic Diet as a healthy salt alternative. I’ve just been introduced to this seasoning and am currently enjoying it on salads (combined with olive oil to make a lovely dressing), and in many other dishes in the place of salt. It’s really scrumptious and adds a depth of flavour to many meals that you wouldn’t achieve with salt. Of course there are some instances in which I believe salt cannot be substituted – on roast potatoes and with any tomato-based sauce to name two.
