"Even something seemingly benign like a bag of mixed frozen vegetables has so much salt added"
Have literally never experienced this except if it's something that's meant to be ready to eat or is a base mix with its own seasoning. Is it a US thing?
- awesomeusername 5y agoIt is a US thing. Sugar and salt in things most of the rest of the world couldn't imagine having sugar and salt added
- TrisMcC 5y agoThis is bullshit. Rows and rows of frozen vegetables in every grocery store have nothing added. No salt, no sugar. You need to get pre-seasoned/ready-to-eat "20 minute dinner" trash to find added salt and sugar.
- Symbiote 5y agoIndeed, the basic frozen vegetables I checked at Walmart [1] look fine. Previously, people have said canned tomatoes have added salt in the US [2], which they don't tend to have in Europe [3] (choosing the basic, cheap brand in both cases).

- nitwit005 5y agoI think the above is only possible if they're getting vegetables with sauce in the bag. There is some salt in the vegetables themselves, of course, but it hasn't been added.
- foolfoolz 5y agoit depends what you buy. most canned food and frozen food comes in pretty close to raw versions and seasoned versions without much change to the packaging or labeling unless you read the details
