What is Nu-Salt?

Nu-Salt is a salt substitute that is free of sodium. The ingredients in Nu-Salt include potassium chloride, potassium bitartrate, silicon dioxide and natural flavor. Nu-Salt looks, tastes and sprinkles like real salt, and it is available in the baking aisle of most food markets.

Potassium chloride is the salt substitute present in Nu-Salt. Potassium bitartrate functions as a flavor modifier, and the silicon dioxide prevents the finished product from caking. Natural flavors derived from citrus fruits and honey modify the taste of Nu-Salt. When using Nu-Salt in cooking or baking, start with a small amount and add more to taste.
