Why is the sodium level so high? The dal pack has 1220 milligrams of sodium per serving? It seems rather unethical for you to be marketing high sodium products

Why is the sodium level so high? The dal pack has 1220 milligrams of sodium per serving? It seems rather unethical for you to be marketing high sodium products to a group of people that should not be eating a daily amount of sodium in one sitting.
- xenihn 8y agoIs everything offered that salty? My biggest issue with the packets of Indian food at Trader Joe's is how much sodium they have, otherwise I would eat 2-3 of those every day. I have to keep track of my sodium intake or my face bloats.
- mitraraman 8y agoWe don't alter our recipes at all, so the sodium amount is unfortunately what's in our products to begin with. We are actively working on a low-sodium option to be released in the Fall!
- keithpeter 8y agoUK, Birmingham: most local street food places use a lot of salt, as do my neighbours, and most of the 'convenience' prepared masalas mentioned up screen. Oddly enough, the salt levels seem a tad lower in the family restaurants (big evening meals).
- option_greek 8y agoActually, that's pretty low for an Indian dish. Many of the dishes (especially south Indian) have way above this amount o sodium. It probably makes sense to take that much sodium when living in South India as many places are hot and you will end up sweating the sodium out anyway.
