Salt levels in food are largely guided by palate. If the amount of salt embedded in the harvested rice is significant relative to the overall sodium load of a typical meal, then its use will be limited to dishes that already contain added salt. In which case salt embedded in the rice will be largely offset by reduced amounts of added salt, keeping the overall dish in balance. Also it should be noted that the link between high salt intake and negative cardiovascular health outcomes is disputed and is likely less significant than the current mainstream medical advice claims. (Like everything related to dietary science, the evidence on both sides of any argument is poor at best. So take it with a grain of salt. Ha.)
