What are some foods without sodium?

Answer 1

Some of the answers below are too broad to trust if you really need to restrict sodium. Take "white breads" as an example. There are many types of white bread that have a good deal of salt in them. If you need to know, check the food information on the package of anything you plan to buy. It is also a good idea to stay away from processed foods. Many foods are low in sodium in their natural forms, however the surest thing to do is again to check the nutrition label of the food products you buy. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a database of nutrients for thousands of food products sold in the country (added to the links below) BREADS AND CEREALS * Cakes * Cooked cereals * Cookies * Crepes * Doughnuts * Graham crackers, and low-salt crackers * Granola * Macaroni, noodles, and spaghetti * Melba toast * Puffed rice, wheat * Regular rice * Shredded Wheat * Sugar-sweetened cereals * White breads * Whole grain breads MAIN DISHES * All unprocessed meats, fish, and poultry * Eggs * Peanut butter * Tuna (low-sodium or rinsed) DAIRY PRODUCTS * Cream cheese * Cream (half-and-half, sour, and whipping) * Custard * Ice cream * Low-salt cheeses * Milk (all kinds) * Monterey jack cheese * Mozzarella cheese * Non-dairy creamers * Ricotta cheese * Sherbet * Yogurt CONDIMENTS * Butter and margarine * Horseradish * Mustard * Worcestershire sauce * Spices and herbs * Tabasco sauce FRUITS AND VEGETABLES * All fresh or frozen vegetables * All fruits, and juices * Canned tomatoes * Rinsed canned vegetables * Tomato paste BEVERAGES * Beer, and wine * Coffee, and tea * Fruit drinks * Soda pop, and seltzer SNACKS * Candy (any kind) * Unsalted nuts * Unsalted popcorn, chips * Low-salt products without potassium substitutes
