I’m a filthy vegan and former tobacco smoker that doesn’t indulge in sweets. I’m scared to actually calculate my salt intake as I over season everything I eat. For a while I thought I was being healthy not using table salt on anything, until I realized hot sauce and tamari are essentially liquid sodium.
Yeah I got through a… whatever, a giant jug of Frank’s hot sauce, I guess half a gallon. Every time I used it I’d visibly bloat up from the sodium, but was probably using a quarter cup minimum every time.
Tried my best to use USA measurements for American people’s benefit. The jug was >2 litres and we’re talking 60ml a pop, absolute minimum. Apparently that’s five grams of salt, nearly 2000mg sodium. Wow.

Yep. My favorite hot sauce has 1200mg of sodium per two tablespoons… And I would drench my food in that shit.
Same with soy sauce. Each of those little packets you get from your favorite Chinese place is probably at least 300mg of sodium.
