If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Last night we had a delicious impromptu "Jambalaya", utilizing a box of Zatarain's new "low sodium" Jambalaya rice mix, a package of sliced Jalapeno chicken sausages, some corn cut from the cobs of some leftover market corn we enjoyed the other day, & some lovely fresh organic baby green & burgundy okra from the farmers market. Green salad, of course!

my goodness the jambalaya rice mix has a boatload of salt. i shop on line where i can get nutrition chart on almost every product. i checked it out as a maybe in my diet. 360 mg. of salt is just too much. not really good for anyone on low salt diet. :(
 
Perhaps in your case.

But a) neither of us is on a low-salt diet, b) we enjoy sensible portions, always rounded out by a nice green salad, & c) this isn't something we eat all the time.

Moderation in all things being the only sensible way to eat will always be my mantra.:)
 
avoiding over salted food should be a must for everyone, breezy. it makes you retain water. that is not good for many reasons. guess i just don't want to waste my sodium allotment to be wasted on a box mix. can do the same thing myself, minus the salt.
 
Whatever, Babe. No one is forcing you to buy it/make it. No need to be critical of other folks who enjoy it when they do. Remember - this is a "cooking" forum. Not an "everything we put in our mouths must always be totally healthy" cooking forum - lol!

Again - Moderation in all things.

i was not being critical of you because you had it. i was being critical of the product, which are two different things altogether. you can eat as healthy or not as you choose. i just choose not to eat highly processed food. :rolleyes: i think this debate is over.
 
Well, just to save you time the next time around, ALL seasoned rice & pasta mixes you're bound to come across at the supermarket are "highly processed food". This way, you won't need to bother investigating them & reporting back to us how unhealthy they are - lol!!
 
you just can't let it go can you breezy! i thought this was a food forum. we discuss food here. just because you didn't like my post, you have chosen to attack me. enough already, silly girl. i am a very patient person but you are starting to tick me off. as moderators say," i think this is a matter for p.m." i chose to waste no more of my time on this. will not answer anymore posts by you on this thread.
