These no salt seasonings prove you don’t need excess sodium to cook flavorful meals that will please every palate. This list is full ot tasty options that make low sodium cooking a breeze!
When I started a low sodium diet I paid no attention to the spices I used. I continued to liberally sprinkle the same seasoning blends, herbs, and spices I’d always used over the low sodium food I prepared for my family. I can’t remember what made me finally look at some of the labels, but I remember very clearly the shock I felt when I realized that many of the spices and blends I’d previously relied on to season my food were full of sodium.
I was even more shocked to find sodium in blends like lemon pepper. In my mind, lemon pepper meant lemon and pepper, not salt. One ¼ teaspoon serving of McCormick’s Perfect Pinch Lemon and Pepper seasoning contains 180 mg per ¼ teaspoon serving.
Sodium is a common ingredient and manufacturers rely on it to add flavor to their seasonings and seasoning blends. This is why it’s imperative that we check the labels on every item we buy, every time. Recipes change all of the time and manufacturers are not required to announce these changes.
When you’re cutting back on sodium, learning to use herbs, spices, and seasoning blends makes a huge difference in the foods you cook. Without salt, our taste buds learn to appreciate other flavors and using spice blends makes it easy to get the most flavor without the salt.
Fortunately, there’s a wide range of salt free seasonings that can bring out the best in your dishes without compromising on taste. This list shares some of the best seasoning blends that deliver big flavor without the sodium, so you can enjoy delicious, low sodium meals every day.

No Salt Seasoning Blends FAQs
Aren’t all spices salt free?
No. It’s important to check the labels of every spice you purchase for sodium content. Sodium is naturally occurring in many foods so spices like chili powder, and even some garlic powders, contain sodium. Those amounts are often minimal, but the USDA FoodData Central website lists the sodium content in chili powder as 77 mg per teaspoon. This is a general number, but each brand can contain a different amount so it’s imperative to always check the labels.
Can I make my own spice blends?
Absolutely! Mixing your own seasoning blends is super simple and it helps keep you in charge of exactly what ingredients are used. You can experiment with your favorite herbs and spices or try my recipes.
