DASH Diet Low Sodium Cooking Methods
DASH diet low sodium cooking methods use roasting, citrus, herbs, and table-side seasoning instead of salting pots early—flavor without stacking hidden sodium through reduction.
DASH diet low sodium cooking methods build flavor without the salt shaker—roasting vegetables, citrus finishes, garlic-ginger bases, and herb rubs on fish and poultry. Boiling pasta in unsalted water then seasoning at the table beats salting the whole pot.
Steam and grill instead of frying in salty batters. Taste at the end; early salting compounds through reduction.
Batch-cook sauces from scratch to control bouillon cubes and soy-heavy bases.
