Abstract
A salt composition is provided for the purpose of preventing excess intake of salt (sodium chloride) and achieving well balanced intake of minerals. The composition which is used in place of conventional table salt consists essentially of 100 parts by weight of a mixture containing 30 to 75% by weight of table salt and 25 to 70% by weight of potassium chloride being admixed with 5 to 60 parts by weight of a citric acid salt, e.g. tripotassium citrate. Seasonings, such as soybean paste and soy sauce, and foods, such as pickles and kimchi, can be prepared with such salt composition.
