Another look at Ezekiel bread, a low-salt option for bread eaters

American eat too much salt, there’s really no dispute about that. And bread is one of the major sources of that salt, even though few people realize it.

So when you switch to a low-salt diet, most bread is off-limits to you.

Years back, Trader Joe’s sold a salt-free whole wheat bread which I used for holiday turkey stuffing among other things. But it’s no longer available, gone even before the Pandemic wiped many low-salt products off store shelves.

So the most prominent low-salt bread that’s widely available these days is Ezekiel bread, something I found distasteful when I was first giving up salt in 2013 but have come to appreciate now.

A recent story on EatingWell.com outlines the many benefits of it but barely touches on it being low-salt.

You need to read the nutrition label to see the salt content.

I’ve given up almost all bread since I started eating low-salt after my first stent back in 2012. But when I need some, I buy Ezekiel bread, so keep it in mind when you’re craving some toast or a sandwich.
