No salt sticky rice for making Nigiri Sushi

[Angrboda]

You can buy much of that stuff on Amazon.  The rice is usually called sushi rice or Japanese rice.

What I've found from looking at my own sodium intake is that the seasoning you add, including salt, doesn't make as big a difference in terms of sodium as the sodium in the food itself.  So my advice is to worry more about the underlying food you're seasoning and how much sodium is in that, and less in what added seasonings like salt add to the sodium level.  They do make salt substitutes, which are usually potassium based rather than sodium based.  If you choose to use one, consult with your doctor first as the potassium can screw up the balance of such things in your system.  I wouldn't worry too much about salt, though, as the foods you choose to eat will have a way greater impact upon the amount of sodium in your diet.

Well, 10g of tuna has 5mg of sodium, while 10g of table salt has 3800mg. Limiting the amount of table salt seems pretty important.

8oz of canned tuna is about 1000 mg of sodium, whereas 8 oz of ham is 2800 mg of sodium. 10g of table salt is two teaspoons which is more than I use in 6-8 quarts of chili. Which is about 3-4 servings, so roughly 900-1100 mg per serving. So choosing tuna over ham saves you 1700 mg of sodium, whereas choosing no salt alternatives to chili with salt saves you probably half to two-thirds of that. You're going to add a lot less than 10g to most food.
