❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is this seasoning salt-free?

A: We believe in giving you control over your sodium intake. Many prepared seasonings contain excessive salt as a filler and preservative. Our salt-free formula allows you to:

• Add your preferred amount and type of salt (sea salt, Himalayan, kosher, etc.)

• Accommodate various dietary sodium restrictions

• Experience the true flavors of organic herbs without salt masking

Q2: How do I use a salt-free seasoning?

A: Salt-free seasonings work beautifully in three ways:

1. As-is for those strictly limiting sodium

2. With added salt to your personal taste preference

3. In dishes with naturally salty ingredients (cheese, cured meats, broth)

We recommend starting with our suggested amounts, then adjusting salt separately to find your perfect balance.

Q3: Will my food taste bland without salt in the seasoning?

A: Absolutely not! Our carefully balanced blend of garlic, onion, and Mediterranean herbs creates robust flavor on its own. The garlic provides umami depth, herbs offer complexity, and black pepper adds warmth. Many users don’t even notice the absence of salt until they consciously think about it.

Q4: Can I use this in place of Italian seasoning?

A: Yes, with benefits! While inspired by Italian herb blends, our formula offers:

• More garlic for bolder flavor

• Salt-free for dietary flexibility

• Organic quality you can taste

• Larger herb flakes for better texture

It works perfectly in any recipe calling for Italian seasoning – just adjust salt separately if needed.

Q5: How should I store this large jar?

A: For maximum freshness:

1. Keep in original glass jar with lid tightly closed

2. Store in pantry away from heat and light

3. Avoid storing near stove or oven

4. Consider dividing into smaller containers if using slowly

5. Always use dry utensils to prevent moisture introduction

Q6: Is this suitable for canning or preserving?

A: While excellent for flavoring fresh foods, we don’t recommend this specific blend for canning or preserving due to:

• Potential texture changes during processing

• Possible flavor intensity alterations

• Not specifically formulated for high-heat preservation

For canning, use fresh herbs or seasonings specifically designed for preservation.
