Salads calculate they have salt

Hi I am back on trying again the last week or so and just noticed that on the food log when I log in salad it calculates a certain amount of salt in it. How can just vegetables cut up with no salt added have salt in them? Just wondering. I calculate my dressing separate and of course that has salt in it.

    I think you are confusing salt with sodium. Sodium is an element found in many different foods.

    Is it a user added entry? (It will have a * before it, if it is) - if so somebody may have added their own salad which contains salt.

    Sodium isn't just table salt. Many foods naturally produce sodium, including vegetables, and it's a necessary nutrient.

    Why should you feel like an idiot? It was something that you didn't know, and now you do. No need to beat yourself up about it.

    Yep, most people are here to learn and this is a pretty common mistake.
