EASY TIP One of the easiest ways to reduce sodium in cooking is with ingredients like spices, dried and fresh herbs, roots (such as garlic and ginger), citrus, vinegars and wine. From black pepper, cinnamon and turmeric to fresh basil, chile peppers and lemon juice, these flavor enhancers spice up the palate with less sodium.
