Like many, I had to give up salt.
And my world went bland.
Three years ago, I was diagnosed with CHF — congestive heart failure. My doctors told me clearly: if I wanted to keep living, I needed to stay under 2,000mg of sodium per day.
That sounds manageable — until you discover that a single teaspoon of salt is 2,300mg. And sodium is hiding in almost everything you eat.
Prepared foods. Spice blends. Sauces. Condiments. Bread. Pasta. Cheese. There's even sodium in raw meats, fruits, and vegetables. The moment I started reading labels, I realized how impossible this was.
My food went bland. My meals went joyless. And I couldn't find a single product on the market that actually tasted good without salt.
For years I'd been making 100% sugar-free products, but now I needed 100% salt-free products that tasted good as well. With none to be found, I made my own.
That's how Golden Sweet™ Hot Sauce was born — and how it grew into a whole line of sauces, mustards, condiments and seasonings with all the flavor, zero added sugar and zero added salt.
