New guidelines just announced say that Americans need to cut their salt intake.
Wow, that’s a news flash.
But they say that Americans over the age of 51 and all African-Americans should limit their salt intake to 1/2 a teaspoon daily.
That is not a lot of salt!
Being salt conscious is super important…
but have you ever added too much salt to a dish like soup or stew?
Want to make it less salty?
Here’s how…
Peel a potato, cut it into large chunks and toss it into the stew the last 10 minutes of cooking. This will pull out some of the salt from your soup. Remove the potato and serve.
Voila!

That is a tiny amount of salt! And know what is funny? I was thinking that was old people then I realized I’m almost that age!
That is SUCH a great tip, and works well! We use very little salt around here, and it’s always a shock to eat out (on rare occasion) to taste how salty the food is!
I didn’t know that about how to remove the salt. That is SUCH a great tip. I’m sure most of us get WAY more salt than we could possibly ever need.
But I looooooove salt! whine…
Good tip though…just had to have a small pity party for myself!
I am a salt-a-holic. I admit it. I love my salt!
You know usually I cut a lot of the salt. I’ve heard this trick but never used it. Thanks for keeping it fresh in my mind
