Nu-Salt Sodium-Free Salt Substitute, Contains Potassium Chloride, Table Salt Alternative, Vegan, Good for Chips, Pretzels, French Fries, Popcorn Seasoning, 3oz Shaker Bottle (Pack of 3)

I don't know how to describe the flavor. It seems different from the regular salt we're all used to, but it is salty. I actually I purchased it to use in DIY electrolyte mix not as a salt substitute, but it does taste salty so if purchasing as a salt replacement might work well in food if you don't have potassium issues. I chose this Nu-Salt brand and it appeared to be just potassium chloride with no additives such as anti-caking agents. It comes in those sort of round cardboard type containers with the plastic top that rotates for sprinkling or pouring out of container and these are a smaller table top version, which is perfect for me as I won't be using it much. Some didn't seem to be able to find the potassium content, it's 656mg per 1/4 teaspoon or 1.25g which they say is 15% of the recommended daily value for adults. The container may not keep it from caking in humid weather. As with all things, use in moderation.UPDATE: At my last annual exam my systolic blood pressure was high. I had the thought it might be the sodium level in my food/drinks. I was talking electrolyte pills as I tended to cramp after heavier physical exercise. I decided to try Nu Salt in my foods. It has a bit of an after taste. I then tried it with some Himalayan salt and it was as a better combo though there still was a slight aftertaste. My blood pressure though is greatly improved cutting down on sodium so if you have that problem try the Nu Salt, but go easy on it because of the aftertaste or if you can try going without any kind of salt might be better. I made DIY electrolyte powder to control the sodium in it. So far so good, no cramping and my blood pressure remains good. Happy camper!

I stopped using salt shakers and use NU-salt instead. I use it when I'm eating something salty like cheese (I've read you want to balance sodium and potassium). For two years, so far, my blood pressure at various Dr. visits has been 10 points lower than it had been averaging for a few years.If you eat a little bit straight and really concentrate your mind on the the taste, you can detect a funny metallic aftertaste. I don't care. On food, it tastes like normal table salt.

Good for folks that have high blood pressure (talk to your doc of course). I switched over from salt and use this to add to food as well as cooking with it. IT does taste a little different than salt. If I was to venture a guess in to how it tastes different, I'd say it tastes juicier(?) than salt. Four stars since if it is anywhere near moisture it turns into a block. The Morton's brand does not.

A salt substitute with potassium instead of sodium. The best salt substitute we have found. My husband has to use it. I can even cook with it for him and if makes his food taste better. I also use it for garlic bread at home, instead of regular salt. My whole family likes the garlic toast made with NuSalt.

I wanted to get a salt substitute so I ordered this. Not knowing if it would taste decent. I was so surprised. I like it very much. I have not used regular salt since I got this. I am very happy with Nu-Salt.

Yuck! Nice packaging. Quick delivery. Good intentions. Just awful taste.

Tastes like salt

I think it's laughable that this is being marketed as a salt replacement. It tastes awful! Very metallic and gross. That being said, what this product is actually good for is acting as an easy to get potassium supplement. Potassium supplements are heavily regulated and therefore require you to take an absurd amount of tablets if you want to supplement that way. This is far more effective and easier. Most people don't get enough potassium on a daily basis, so if you're deficient or fasting, you may want to consider supplementing with this. I mix it into a glass of water, chug it, and rinse my mouth out with some fresh water afterwards, because as I mentioned, it tastes awful.
