    Being somebody who has to watch their sodium intake due to heart health concerns I would say that Morton is not at all deranged in creating this especially considering I’ve got a container of it sitting on my spice rack right now.

    Though it should be noted I do my best not to think about the fact that KCL is used in lethal injections. 😒 I just thank the gods I don’t have any ulcers.

      It’s more the pure sodium part. Stop, drop, and roll would be a lot more important if it was pure sodium.

      It has an additional use, too.

      The non-“salt” ingredient here, potassium chloride, is the “harder to find” ingredient in a simple four ingredient rehydration solution.

      The other ingredients are sodium chloride, sugar, and water.

      So equal parts this and sugar in a glass of water and you’ve got yourself the world health organization’s answer to dehydration.
