I like Benson's Table Tasty as a no-salt substitute.
Benson's has other salt-free seasonings but my DH and I like "Table Tasty" the most. You can find Benson's Table Tasty at this link: https://www.bensonsgourmetseasonings...e-3-oz-bottle/ Most of the time I eat my food (rice, beans, vegetables, etc) without Table Tasty and without any seasoning because I love the taste of whole natural foods. It takes about a month of eating food without salt before your taste buds adjust. |

Just popping in to say thanks to all for the great suggestions!! I appreciate the time you guys took to respond so thoughtfully. We are looking to cut back some on sodium in our household as well before it becomes a medical necessity.
I've also noticed how few "low sodium" products there are, and those tend to have the flavor of cardboard. The marketing focus seems to be on "low fat" and then they load the product with sugar and/or salt.

Oh, you know, it's finally occurred to me to just mention that you want to make sure dry goods in your pantry are well stored. I have found that mason jars work well, but there are lots of other options out there.
Sometimes foods will pick up the flavors of their packaging, so it's important to store larger amounts as carefully as you can, and also to shop from reputable retailers. (For example, years ago I hardly ever shopped at the store nearest to my current house because it seemed as though a lot of their stuff was stale or just old. Badly stored, for too long, you know? ) If you have a persistent problem getting things to taste good, check the freshness of the grains. Another general thing is to just keep working to expand your cooking skills so you learn a lot of different ways to boost flavor that suit your own taste buds.
