About this food

About Margarine-like: Sodium varies hugely across condiments and oils - soy sauce and sauces are sodium-dense while most plant oils are nearly sodium-free. Swapping salty sauces for oils is a practical sodium trick. As a Condiments & Oils item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.
