Looking for better-snacking options, I purchased this large bag of delicious pumpkin seeds from Amazon about a month ago. Looking to reduce my sodium intake, I tossed a few food items yesterday as I am so sick of battling high blood pressure. These pumpkin seeds have about three milligrams of sodium, a completely irrelevant amount, the peanuts have zero sodium.
How can I get the No Salt substitute to stick to the dry, smooth peanuts? Easy, just boil some water, place the peanuts in a colander, and place on top of the steaming pot just long enough to coat the peanuts with a fine coat of condensed water.
Quickly, add the No Salt to the moistened peanuts and stir them to mix them up. Next, pour them into a bowl and add the pumpkin seeds. Mix the peanuts and seeds together and that’s all there is to it. You have a really delicious (to me) extremely low sodium snack that is both tasty and very good for your innards. Hey man, I’m trying to get my diet under control! đđ
I love sunflower seeds, and can get plain organic ones here. Pumpkin seeds and peanuts are good, too. Good on salads, or just snacking. Salt was fortunately never a problem for me.
You are so lucky to have normal blood pressure, Lavinia! No joke, it’s a battle every single day. I’ve had sunflower seeds too, very tasty. The BP is very good this morning, yay.
Never ate pumpkin seeds. ..I eat unsalted peanuts.
This brand is to me, really delicious. Unsalted peanuts allow you to actually taste the nut, what a concept, right? The salt wipes out the nut’s flavors.
Yep!
Hmm, “Good for your innards”? Both contribute to Migraines, so, not for me. Sigh.
I didn’t know this, I’m sorry that you have to deal with this so much. âšī¸
Thank You. Food triggers depend on the person.
Heloise had a very long running column in newspapers nationwide for decades, providing household “hints”. Her is a history of her…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heloise_(columnist)
OK, thanks for this link! I’ve never heard of her obviously. I don’t think I’ll be as influential as she is… đ
Good ideas, John. Are you the new “Hints from Heloise” blogger? LOL
Thanks! Ummm, who is Heloise?
