Salt Free Seasoning

Salt-free seasonings are a delicious, no-sodium way to add flavor to food. Salt is the ultimate flavor enhancer; when missing, creating dishes that pop with flavor can be challenging.

While we need salt to help regulate many bodily functions, we often overdo it. Guidelines set out by the American Heart Association indicate that Americans should aim to eat 1,500 milligrams (mg) of salt per day and no more than 2,300 mg. We consume an average of 3,400 mg of salt in our daily diets.

Many know that low-salt diets are recommended for people with heart disease. Keeping sodium intake low is also recommended for people with kidney, liver, and stomach problems. People following a diabetic diet also benefit from low-salt guidelines.

Our Top 25 Salt Free Seasonings

These seasonings have been created to help fill the flavor gap often associated with low-salt cooking.  It’s easy to embrace a low-salt lifestyle when you’ve got blends that taste this good!

Pennsylvania Pepper

This pepper blend is an all-purpose, no-salt seasoning that can be used any time you reach for the salt. It’s peppery, of course, with some surprising sweetness and the brisk bite of celery seed.

Italian Seasoning

This classic mix of Mediterranean herbs is one of our favorite sodium-free seasonings. It brings the flavors of Italy right into your kitchen and adds fragrant herbaceousness to vegetables, chicken, meatballs, or anything that can stand up to some tomato sauce.

Pumpkin Pie Spice

Don’t pigeonhole this flavorful salt-free blend with the desserts. We like to sprinkle it over winter squash, sweet potatoes, or carrots and roast them. You can also sprinkle it over coffee grounds before brewing for a DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte, stir it into waffle or pancake batter, and season popcorn.

Roasted Garlic Pepper

Salt-free Roasted Garlic Pepper is a potent combination of pungent garlic and sweet onion, with the pleasant burn of white and black pepper. It’s a workhorse blend that goes with just about anything but shines when paired with grains and pasta.

Taco Seasoning

This warm, savory, no-salt Mexican seasoning is loaded with heat, flavor, and a little sweetness. Don’t just use it for tacos; this can be used to dress up all sorts of low-salt sides, like sauteed corn or refried beans. It makes a great chili seasoning too!

Organic Pennsylvania Pepper

This all-organic version of our much-beloved Pennsylvania Pepper delivers the same gourmet mix of flavor without a grain of salt to be had. Use this wherever you would use conventional pepper blends.

Flippin the Bird

The name may have an attitude, but this blend is welcoming and family-friendly. It’s rich with strong aromatics, and bright notes of sweetness and herbs finished with just a touch of fruity chile pepper. We designed this blend for chicken, but it’s terrific on pork tenderloin, root vegetables like potatoes and parsnips, or whisked into some oil for a salad dressing.

Poultry Seasoning

This no-salt seasoning has an herbaceous and gentle flavor profile. It brings loads of flavor to the table without any spicy heat. It’s great on chicken and turkey and is a big seller during the winter holidays, but it’s delicious seasoning vegetables or pasta dishes all year long.

Habanero Garlic Pepper

Fire it up! You won’t miss the salt in this bold, spicy seasoning blend. The heat from a habanero comes on fast but fades quickly; then, you’ll enjoy the rich mix of fruits, chiles, and aromatics. It’s great in marinades or tossed-over grilled shrimp.

Lemon Pepper

This bright and bouncy blend elevates the flavors of delicate foods like mild white fish and chicken breast. It’s also great on tofu, sprinkled over pasta salad, or mixed with cream cheese and stuffed into celery for a classic American appetizer.

Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer

Living a low-salt life usually increases the way you use its counterpart, pepper. This Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer will give you all the nuances of peppercorns, from the piney, resinous black peppercorns to the fruity sweetness of pink peppercorns. Use this anywhere you’d use black pepper.

Mulling Spices

Mulling Spices exist to turbo-boost the aromatic appeal of warm, wintery drinks. Mulling Spices adds flavor and excitement to all kinds of beverages, from sweet cider to hot chocolate to adult drinks like wine.

Napa Valley Pepper

Napa Valley Pepper has strong notes of piney black pepper, with pops of citrus and pungent aromatics. It is our #2 pepper blend after Pennsylvania Pepper. Use Napa Valley Pepper as a rub or sprinkle on fish, meat, chicken, seafood, or tofu before broiling or grilling. It can be added to greens or side salads like chicken, potato, or pasta. It's also excellent with tofu or making herb butter.

Pizza Seasoning

You'll find this blend contains the perfect ingredients to spice up every pizza just like it was from your favorite Italian joint down the road--from the thin crust plain cheese to the deep dish "give me everything you got!" pie--without all the extra salt. You can also use it to make meatballs, chicken parmesan, or garlic bread.

Garlic and Herb Seasoning

Crunchy, nutty Garlic and Herb Seasoning is a versatile addition to any spice collection. This salt-free flavoring can be used anywhere, from seasoned breadsticks to stir-fries. Top salads with this seasoning or mix it with olive oil to create an easy appetizer. It’s so rich and hearty that you won’t miss the salt.

Blackened Seasoning

This New Orleans modern classic salt-free blend relies on spices that deliver a lot of depth and a bit of heat. It’s well-rounded and full of Cajun flavor. If you don’t blacken your food, don’t worry! This is great mixed into mac and cheese, tossed over chicken wings, or stirred into peppers and onions for a base for a terrific salt-free jambalaya.

Montreal Chicken Seasoning

This blend is so well-balanced. It's herbaceous with a bit of citrus, and aromatic with a little bit of heat. This makes incredible grilled or roasted chicken, but it's also great as a stuffing for mushrooms, on grilled eggplant or shrimp, or loaded onto a zucchini boat with hearty in-season tomatoes. 

Hill Country Chili Powder

Smoky, fruity, and rich Hill Country Chili Powder brings a little spice and unique richness to a salt-free kitchen. Use this in chilis, rubbed on brisket, in black beans and rice, or tossed over carrots and roasted.

Ras El Hanout

Translating as “Top of the Shop”, Ras El Hanout is an ancient blend made from the best spices that spice vendors had to offer. Ras El Hanout is a complex blend; it combines woodsy cinnamon, earthy cumin and turmeric, citrus-mint cardamom, and the surprising floral lift of lavender and rose. Nineteen herbs and spices go into this unforgettable blend that might make you forget all about salt.

Memphis-Style Dry Rib Rub

With an abundance of deep, mellow paprika and a burst of cayenne, this Memphis-Style Dry Rib Rub is an effortless way to make a great batch of ribs extraordinary. There’s enough heat in this blend to add a little buzz of excitement, but it is primarily warm, fragrant, and welcoming. Rub this on ribs, brisket, pork, turkey legs, and anything you want to treat with low-and-slow-cooked love.

Apple Pie Spice

Apple Pie Spice is one of our signature baking spice blends and gives that "Grandma's house in the fall" scent we have all come to associate with apple pie. This sweet blend is an easy choice when making pies or cookies, but it’s also great as a topping on oatmeal, in waffle or pancake batter, sprinkled on French toast, added to crumbled toppings on spice cakes, and even in BBQ mops and sauces. Enjoy fall all year.

Mild Chili Powder

This straightforward chili powder is made from family-friendly, fruity pasilla chiles and rich, chocolatey ancho chiles. They’re both sweet but not spicy; their job is to deliver intense flavor, which we’ve balanced with mild, friendly paprika and bold aromatics like onion and garlic. Try this in chili, tacos, beans, tortilla soup, sprinkled over nachos, or tossed over sweet winter squashes, like butternut, and roasted.

Spicy Thai Seasoning

Thai cuisine is based on five essential flavors: salty, sour, spicy, bitter, and sweet. Our Spicy Thai Seasoning is perfect for adding delicious Thai flavor to grains, meat, seafood, and vegetable-based dishes. We like to use our Spicy Thai Seasoning when we're looking for something with just a little more kick than usual, especially in stir-fries and as a dry rub for some delicious Thai Chicken Wings.

This Turkish seasoning blend is perfect for grilled or skewered meat. This no-salt blend is fragrant and enchanting, made with heady spices like cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Use this on chicken, beef, or lamb, make a toasted chickpea snack called chana, or have fusion-style shawarma fish tacos with cilantro yogurt, all without worrying about excess salt.
