Seaweed Granules Reduces Salt in Food

September 23, 2008: 12:58 PM EST
Seaweed might be able to reduce salt in food without affecting shelf life and taste, say UK researchers. Working with an Anglo-Norwegian company, Seagreens, the team found that besides maintaining the taste of the food, the seaweed granules reduce the prevalence of some micro-organisms. The granules are reported to contain about 3.5 percent sodium, instead of 40 per cent typically found in salt. The average daily salt consumption in the western world is between 10 and 12g. The UK's FSA recommends six grams a day. In the UK, Ireland and the USA, over 80 per cent of salt comes from processed food, 20 per cent from meat and about 35 per cent from cereals.
