Salty! Has over 26% of the daily sodium max
The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium daily — twice the recommended amount amount of 2400mg for healthy adults, this is 1 teaspoon of salt.
For medical reasons many people should not exceed 1500mg of sodium.
Surprisingly, you're responsible for only 15% of the sodium in your diet the bigger part - 75% of the sodium that you consume each day comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker.
Excess sodium intake increases the risk of high blood pressure, hypernatremia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other heart problems.
Are these reasons enough to cut the sodium intake? No doubt! -
Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -

More than 8% daily fiber!
Eat more fiber. You've heard it many times. But why it is so good for your health?
Dietary fiber is best known for its ability to make our digestion going right.
So want to prevent or relieve constipation - eat more fiber!
There are also other great health benefits as well, such as lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and helping to maintain a healthy weight by helping to feel you full longer.
The best source of fiber are fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes and not processed foods with added fiber. -
A good source of protein
For many vegans and vegetarians, it's important to get enough protein.
The product you've just scanned will provide you with 16% or more of your daily protein requirement.
If you're a vegan having trouble meeting your protein needs, try nuts and beans.
Sprinkling nuts onto any dish is a quick, easy and nutritious solution.
Try adding beans in places you might not normally eat them.
Add beans to pasta dishes, stir fries and even salads.
While meat alternatives like Tofu do provide a quick and easy protein intake, they should not be your only source of protein.
Eat proteins from a variety of sources for best results. -
For dieters: FoodPoints value is 5

No whole grains here
Whole grains are a great source of fiber and other nutrients. Fiber is one of the most important nutrients lacking in the modern American diet. Unfortunately, this product does not contain enough whole grains, if any. If there is fiber in here, it's probably added fiber and not naturally occurring. Whole grains are not the only way to consuming fiber, BUT by choosing them instead of processed grains you've made a smart choice. If you'd like to eat a bit better, try for something that contains whole grains.

Choose healthy pasta - 5 quick tips
Want to choose healthy pasta? Here are 5 quick tips: 1. Choose whole grain pasta. One serving will have 3.5 grams of fiber while regular pasta has 2 grams. 2. Cook it al dente (firm) - the firmer the pasta, the lower the glycemic index. Low glycemic index means longer lasting energy and easier digestion. 3. If you're using store-bought sauce, add some extra veggies. Finely chopped broccoli, spinach leaves, shredded carrots, or cauliflower blend well in to any flavored sauce. Any frozen mix would do well too. 4. Add some nutrition with beans. Add them to your sauce. Use mung beans or add some texture with Cannellini (white beans) or kidney beans. Be sure they're cooked first though. 5. Cooking for gluten free folks? Try pasta made from rice or other grains. But don't forget to check for fiber in these too! Pasta should have fiber no matter what it's made of.
