Amazon.com : Bragg Liquid Aminos, All Purpose Seasoning, 32 fl oz : Grocery & Gourmet Food (original) (raw)

I heard mention of this on a Dr. Oz show, and I love this stuff! It has become the most used seasoning at my house. It has sodium (in fact, thanks to Halcyon's comment, I compared it closely to lite soy sauce, and found out it has about twice the sodium per tsp), but here is the funny thing - a little of this seems to go a long way toward adding "saltiness" to soups, stir frys, hard boiled eggs, etc, and since it is in liquid form in a dropper bottle, I can easily add what I need to my own serving of food without overdoing it (my goal is for the sodium content in mg to remain less than the calories in a meal, since my dr. asked me to limit sodium to 1600mg/day). When we make soup at our house, we use no added salt broth and no added salt canned vegetables along with the frozen and fresh vegetables, herbs and spices, then everyone seasons their own serving. I only need about 14 drops of this ( = 50mg sodium) to season my serving of soup to my liking.

Does anyone know of a diluted salt mixture so say 50mg of sodium could be measured out at one time? - I certainly don't trust myself with a salt shaker. Perhaps the thing to do is dissolve some salt in water so that 14 drops works out to have 50mg of sodium, and put it in a dropper bottle just like the Bragg. Then I can find out if salt works as well as Bragg!
