Reduce Sodium
Reduce Sodium adaptations suggest recipe changes intended to lower sodium compared with the Base Recipe while keeping the recipe functional and balanced.
What It Means
When Reduce Sodium is available for a recipe, Adaptable Recipes looks for practical ways to lower sodium while preserving the overall character and function of the dish.
Changes may involve reducing added salt, choosing lower-sodium versions of packaged ingredients, adjusting broths, sauces, seasonings, or condiments, and rebalancing other flavors so the recipe still works as intended.
What May Change
- Added salt and salty seasonings
- Broths, stocks, sauces, condiments, and packaged ingredients
- Ingredient quantities
- Flavor-balancing ingredients and seasonings
- Preparation and cooking instructions
- Available substitutions and recipe notes when relevant
How to Use It
- Open a recipe on Adaptable Recipes.
- Choose Reduce Sodium when it is available for that recipe.
- Select any other compatible adaptations or ingredient substitutions you want.
- Choose Apply Changes to build the coordinated adapted recipe.
Adaptations vary by recipe, so Reduce Sodium will only appear when it makes sense for the recipe you are viewing.
