### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent alternative to salt in some foods
*by A***K on 5 January 2025*

The taste is not identical to salt but it's decent. It doesn't have that salty feel to it, so might not be suitable in all foods as a substitute of salt. The crystals could have been more granular to allow for better mixability.
