Does anyone know of a bread out there that is low in sodium? Today I thought it would be a great idea to make a couple of sandwiches (Peanut Butter) man I didn't realize how much sodium was in 1 slice of bread.

    Do you have an adverse reaction to sodium? Do you have hypertension or high blood pressure? If not, then don't worry that much about sodium.

    Thankful no High blood pressure or hypertension. I just like to stay under my daily sodium amounts. Of course I know having one day of high sodium isn't going to kill me I might see a bit more water retention but I don't normally have back to back days of over doing sodium.
    I just wanted those Peanut Butter sandwiches today LOL

    I think one of the only ways to really limit sodium in bread is to make it yourself. I could be wrong depending on where you are but it's tough to find anything that's pre-made that has any kind of shelf life that isn't chock full of sodium.

    There isn't much salt in good bread. Are you buying some packaged rubbish? Also note that salt and sodium are not the same. 1g salt =388mg sodium.

    I haven't tried it either, it's simply not carried in my stores. I buy low sodium bread that the store bakery bakes, 115 mg sodium for 42 grams of bread (supposedly 2 slices).

    Have you tried Wasa whole grain crispbread, gave up bread for that very reason. 4 Wasa Crispnbread = 140 calories, very filling @45 mg of sodium each crispbread and 35 calories.

    I have looked at looked for lower sodium bread and have not been successful. It's extremely frustrating. The lowest I can find in my area is a nine grain bread and has 115 mg per slice. I've pretty much resigned myself to having to try my hand at making my own bread.

    Bread machines are a great way to have fresh homemade bread and also control the ingredients that go into the bread. You can lower the amount of salt that goes into the bread but I have found that if you lower the salt too much it affects the taste of the bread and it is really not that appetizing. Just my personal experience.

    When I use my bread machine I often put just a little salt in the mix and add spices for more flavor.

    Ezekiel Bread, Low Sodium; comes frozen in many grocery stores. Zero grams sodium per 34 gram serving (one slice). Makes great toast.

    Hi
    What do You consider low sodium? \
    My brother has been buying Nature's Harvest Light Multigrain that is 40 calories per slice and 160mg sodium if that fits Your requirement. You should be able to find something similar.

    Good Luck

    I keep looking for this bread in my area, I didn't know to look in the freezer section though. You've given me new hope that I may find it.

    Same. I never thought to look in the freezer section of, what I like to call Hippy Foods. I know it's not in the regular freezer areas. I guess it should be because it doesn't have many preservatives meaning it can go off faster (guessing there).

    Yup.

    Salt is generally necessary for bread because it controls the growth of the yeast and helps develop the bread's structure. It also acts as a light preservative and makes the bread taste better. I mean, you can bake salt free bread, but the quality will suffer a bit.
