If you came directly to found this page you should go to my main page on low sodium foods 

Some products that are over 120mg/100g

These products do not fit the low salt guidelines but they  are near the lowest sodium for their type that I have found.

They should be combined with low sodium ingredients and calculations performed to ensure that the final recipe conforms to the dietary guidelines regarding sodium.

This Patak's Oven Bake Sauce  (and similar with sodium of 288mg/100g) can produce a low sodium  dish.

Pataks Oven Bake Biryani
The recipe  calls for 2 chicken breasts (no weight specified so use 1kg). The
ones in my chicken shop were as big as turkeys so I settled for one
and a half that came to 1kg.  Sodium calculation follows.

350g of the cooking sauce 3.5 X 288mg = 1008mg
1kg chicken  10 X 41mg = 410mg  (from NUTTAB database)
40g oil = 0mg
150g Basmati rice = 0mg
60ml water = 0mg

Total weight uncooked 1600g and cooked 1400g
Total sodium 1418mg
Sodium/100g 1418 divided by 14 = 101mg

Optional for the recipe are lamb, beef, vegetables or prawns. All
except prawns would result in a low sodium dish. If you want to
experiment fish would also be OK sodium wise.


                                        

                       
Leggo's Wine infused pasta sauce 
Leggo's Wine Infused pasta sauces  need to be served with almost twice their weight  of cooked pasta to be  low sodium.

 
Latina Pasta Sauce


The sodium In a pasta sauce is diluted by the accompanying pasta so if you use half as much sauce as pasta you could use a sauce up to a sodium level of 360mg/100g and end up with a meal that is up to 120mg/100g.
This Latina sauce is only 200mg/100g so when mixed with twice as much pasta the meal is only 67mg/100g leaving some room for error.




SaraLee Deep dish Pies



Provided the pie or other sweet is below 150mg/100g and you serve it with at least half its weight of custard or ice cream you will end up with a serve of dessert that is low sodium.  There are not many frozen sweet desserts that fit the bill but these two from Sara LeeŠ  do. AldiŠ has a frozen strudel (uncooked) that is below 150(148)--- SweethavenŽ  Strudel Fruit of the Forrest 26015552.

GUSTO Pasta Sauce
Gusto pasta sauce was recently tested and although 190mg/100g and not the 120 on the label it can still make a low sodium meal if used  with  a normal amount of pasta. The pasta should be a hard type  and not the fresh type that usually has added salt.

Kan Tong also have a Lemon Chicken stir-fry sauce  with 216mg/100g. available in Coles.

KanTong Plum Sweet and Sour Stir fry sauceKanTong Sweet & Sour Lite  

The sodium level in these Sweet & Sour sauces, after adding the chicken and rice will be down below 120mg/100g for the meal. If you are willing to risk pushing the sodium level of the final meal to the 120mg limit, you could use a 575g jar of sauce that was as high as 300mg/100g, by using 500g of meat and a weight of rice equal to the cooked weight of the meat sauce.  

To go with some of the simmer sauces shown  You may like to try Traffic Light Rice.

Bocconcini CheeseMammaLucia BocconciniTamar Vallet Bocconcini
From smaller supermarkets and other stores that have a cheese section you can pick up a range of lower salt cheeses. For example Harris Farm Markets has Paesanella Bocconcini in 500g tubs 9333942000014 with 148mg/100g. The three types on the left were found in supermarkets.

There are not that many choices with hard cheese but aim for about 330mg per 100g or less of sodium  and use sparingly.  Mozzarella and  Swiss are some possible types.  Paneer cheese is usually very low in sodium but will not melt. You will find some flavoured soft cheeses with about 200mg/100g in plastic pouches. The only reduced  sodium salt cheese I have found is Nimbin (I get it from Woolworths or Coles) and I use it in measured small quantitys in place of cheddar.
