Which fruits & vegetables are low in sodium?
Most fruits and veggies have very little to no sodium naturally. If you’re purchasing canned or frozen fruits and veggies, look for no- or low-salt versions. Another way to reduce the sodium content of canned fruits and veggies is by draining them in a colander and rinsing them under running water.
What does low sodium mean?
Foods that contain 140 mg or less sodium per reference amount can be labeled “low-sodium.” If a food has 35 mg or less per reference amount, then it qualifies as “very low-sodium.” Foods that contain less than 5 mg sodium per reference amount qualify to carry the label “sodium free.”
