So do you mean that you cook whole meals without putting any salt in or on? For example, would you put salt on a fried or boiled egg? Would you make a stew or casserole without salt? What about boiling potatoes? I'm becoming fascinated by this. I feel like I must be a salt addict!Seldom add salt, and never on a cooked meal, so I'll say yes.

In, not always, on No. No salt(never have done). There'd be some added, said I seldom add salt. No, used to add a bit, to stop new ones splitting years ago. Other than that no.So do you mean that you cook whole meals without putting any salt in or on? For example, would you put salt on a fried or boiled egg?

A good substitute for salt is lemon juice or lemon zest. But there isn't really a product with a similar taste to salt, whereas sugar can be replaced by Truvia or similar. So perhaps your Mum, @Corzhens , could use Truvia in her oatmeal (I do)? Don't know if you can get it where you are, though. Using spices can help as a substitute for salt. For example ground cumin or coriander sprinkled over savoury food. Or Sumac... that's good.
I never use salt when cooking potatoes, pasta, rice, stews or casseroles and I would not add it to any egg I boiled or fried. In fact I have not bought any salt in the past 20 years and no-one has complained about my cooking. I do sometimes use condiments that contain salt, for example Worcestershire sauce, but I rely more on spices, vinegars, herbs and flavored oils in my cooking so the food never tastes bland.So do you mean that you cook whole meals without putting any salt in or on?

I have not been advised by the doctor perse, but I am guessing if I am hypertensive I should go easy on the salt or cut it out altogether but it's a challenge. I am still working on how to significantly cut back on my 'salt' intake. I don't use salt in it's raw form a lot but I use a lot of seasoning with high salt content. This is an area I need to work hard on.Can you eat food that does not have any salt? My aunt prepares her food minus salt. She says that she was advised not to take salt by her doctor.

I was brought up never to put salt in any meal you cook until it reaches the table and only then very seldomly does salt get added. So I never use salt in meals. I have had to get used to the idea of putting salt in bread when I make it and have started very low (1tsp salt per kg of flour and slowly found out what works for us which is 2tsp salt per 1kg flour). I never ever add salt to anything that is boiled except for fresh pasta which seems to need it to stop it absorbing too much water. As for meals, casseroles, nope, neverSo do you mean that you cook whole meals without putting any salt in or on?
Usually not. I certainly would not assume to put salt on for someone else. A fried egg, no, the oil is enough. A boiled egg well that depends on what my body is telling me on the day because I also take a lot of exercise and my body will tell me when I need more, but I will certainly taste the boiled egg first and make my mind up from there.For example, would you put salt on a fried or boiled egg?
