By all means all can food is loaded with Salt even when they say they are not. I too must watch salt intake. So Fresh vegetables are the way to go with distilled water, or grilling with a little Pam spray, Steam and if using olives must must must rinse the brine off. But fresh herbs and some olive oil will do the trick . the Bullion cubes forget it loaded with salt. So make fresh chicken ,beef, fish stock for your base can freeze and use it also when needed. hj
