The description says if you use it in deserts you get that salty sweet taste that everyone loves. If it has no salt, how is that possible?

because Bacon in and of it self taste salty. Do you need to salt your bacon on your plate. I use this stuff for flavor and it's true you do get a slaty flavor if it is on chocolate or eggs and hash browns. It is the one seasoning that wil;l make cardboard taste flavorful. If you have not tried this ? then you need to get an order and see for your self

It definitely has no salt. The USDA and FDA are very strict and test my product. I think it's because my bacon grease has a hickory flavor and in most deserts you add your own salt, especially in cookies.

There is no "added" sodium...but there are several different sodiums that are used in the curing of pork (pink salt, a.k.a. Prague powder, contains table salt and sodium nitrite, and is used in the curing of meats such as ham, bacon and sausage. While these are typically washed off of the meat as part of the process, the salts have by that time seasoned the meat to a degree (different in each type of meat, and dependent on the size of the cured meat and the amount used). Labeling law only requires that the label note all ingredients used in the manufacture of the product, in this case, the Hot Belly product itself...the bacon that it was made from was already cured, so as an ingredient it was simply listed as "bacon". I hope this answers your question, Ernestine...if not, please let me know and I'll try to do my best to help. Happy cooking!!

Not sure? The label does read 0g sodium. Maybe the fatty smoke flavor gives the impression of salt... similar to some vinegars that seem very salty but only have very small amounts..?The product is great though. I use it every weekend to fry eggs... AND, it is great for seasoning cast iron! I wish I could find it (or a similar item) in stores.

I don't know because the product was at an Early Years Centre, not in my home. But I can tell you that if you put salt on your hand, and then rub the salt into your hand, the salt does not feel sharp as if it is digging and ripping into your skin like this product. Also when the sand is poured, some of the particles go into the air. So some of the particles must be quite small.

I would think the best answer to this question would be what it doesn't contain. The mined salts have been protected, in many cases by volcanic rock, that has kept out today's polutions. Sodium and nitrates have cleansing properties. That is why I use the salt inhaler. Fewer natural minerals make for a purer taste, also.

This salt is special; and delicious. It needs to breathe, therefore it can go in a jar either glass or wood or perhaps plastic, but don't put a cover on it! If you cover it it can get a moldy taste.

the truth is that I havent tried it with salt but I dont see a reason why not. what I can say is that after several months I am very satisfied with this product.

You can use it with sweet foods like apples. It's not supposed to have a salty taste because there's no sodium, it's just calcium chloride. I don't know specifically about the foods you mention - perhaps foods with high acid, like tomatoes, would not be recommended. And aren't sweet potatoes always cooked first to be digestible - so do you propose cooking them and then getting them crisp with this product?

It does not smell very pleasant but shouldnt be repulsive either. Also the color should not be dark, it should be a little yellowish white what is called sea salt. One that I ordered from Amazonwas almost brown. Its not good.

It is saltless. I wondered about this heading too. I think it's a print mistake--somebody left off the "less." Anyway, I own one; no salt.

If you want very fine salt, you should probably buy a grinder. The grains aren't huge -- not as large as some Celtic sea salt grains that I've seen -- but the salt definitely does not have the powdery quality of table salt. There is also a bit of moisture in the bag, so the grains occasionally form small clumps. This is my favorite salt, BTW! I don't have plans on using any other salt in the near future!

No I did not find it tasted salty whatsoever. If you are using this as a meal replacement, you need a source of sodium as that is necessary for your body's chemistry. If you have unique health needs (like congestive heart failure) and need a low sodium product, this may not be for you.

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

it does have a fishy smell but not fishy taste; therefore, you can't add it to any dishes. It tastes very salty. So, usually, people use it in tiny amount.

No salty taste whatsoever. I've been drinking this water for awhile and have never tasted any salt (or at least any detectable salt and I am sensitive to it).

It doesn't give a salty taste - actually the herbs and spices give the flavor to 'replace' the salt.

I have no idea but I would not recommend this product as a Salt Substitute. It doesn't taste anything like salt. I believe that the ad does contain a list of ingredients somewhere in the ad. I wish I had read this before I wasted my money on it.

It's a noticeable taste. You're going to know its not just plain salt. I'd say it has some sort of metallic taste to it but I can't put my finger on it exactly.

Either way it isn't good for you. It has high levels of sodium, I love it but try not to eat it often.
