Question:One way triston might reduce the sodium in hot spinach dip recipe is to substitute which of the following for the garlic salt as a low sodium alternative?

Answer:A.Garlic powder.

• sea salt contains nearly 40% sodium in 1gm of sea salt,same is the case with iodized salt it contains little more sodium compared to sea salt in one table spoon because few sea salt crystals occupy the tablespoon compared to table salt.so compared to sea salt and iodized salt,garlic powder is better substitute to garlic salt.
