Flavoring Foods Without Salt

High blood pressure is a common complaint these days, which may be offset by lower consumption of sodium. Once used to flavor food with salt, however, it becomes very difficult for all the pleasure of others. Many cooks are simply not aware of the various herbs that work with certain foods. It takes time to experiment with a variety of herbs and spices to learn where your taste buds want more. Once you begin to understand all tastes, however, can be more creative by using herbs and spices to enhance your favorite recipes and reduce salt tremendously.Note there is a difference in strength between fresh and dried herbs . Depending on the recipe, can make a big difference. When a recipe calls for dried, use that. If a recipe calls for fresh herbs is also best to use them. However, in low seasons, you may need to use dried herbs instead. Typically, you use half of what is known as the dried herbs are sometimes more powerful. Always err on the bottom. You can always add more.The list of herbs and spices can give as a starting point for learning to improve food without too much salt: Beef and bay leaf, oregano, nutmeg, onion, pepper, sage, Curry thymeLamb, garlic, rosemary, mintPork garlic, onion, sage, pepper, oreganoVeal bay leaf, curry powder, ginger, marjoram, oreganoChicken ginger, marjoram, oregano, chili, chicken, pepper, rosemary, sage, tarragon, curry powder thymeFish, dill, mustard powder, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, pepper vegetables carrots, cinnamon, cloves, oregano, nutmeg, rosemary, sageCorn cumin, curry powder, onions, peppers, beans parsleyGreen Dill, curry powder, lemon juice , marjoram, oregano, tarragon, thymeGreens Cipolla, PepperPeas ginger, marjoram, onion, parsley, dill sagePotatoes, garlic, onions, peppers, parsley, cloves sageSummer Squash, curry powder, marjoram, nutmeg, rosemary, cinnamon sageWinter Squash , ginger, nutmeg, onionTomatoes basil, bay leaves, dill, marjoram, onion, oregano, parsley, Lia Soscia pepperAbout Chef Lia is a personal chef and owner of Home Cooking Consultant Personal Chef Service located in Nassau County, Long Island. http://www.ChefLia.com
