Featured Story: More Herbs, Less Salt!
To reduce the amount of sodium in the average American’s diet August 29 was deemed National More Herbs, Less Salt Day.

This means a lot of Americans are getting more sodium in their diets than they are aware of. Herbs are great for added flavor, color, or fragrance. August 29 is a great day to begin giving more attention to your salt intake while finding other creative ways to use herbs and spices to flavor food.
