...love the spicy food, and this had been a mainstay during the first part of my diet this year (not RDS, basically low cal/low fat). I used it to punch up a lot of dishes, but had ASSUMED it was extremely high in sodium, like soy sauce, etc. Finally yanked it from the pantry and was stunned--only 10 mgs per tsp. It's rather concentrated, so you really don't have to use much at all to "get there".

Am geeked. My FIRST Liquid Smoke experiment with an RDS-happy recipe will be hummus--will surf the forum for a recommended recipe, then toss in some Liquid Smoke and a good dump of cayenne. I think a large % of Southerners have a genetic predisposition to anything REMOTELY smoky--let alone spicy. I've used it in cooked vegetables, tomato sauces, tomato soup and broccoli soup...have splashed it in just about anything other than DESSERTS...

Sometimes Santa really DOES come early--I've become numbed to The Sadness of Labels, I was already prepped for The Unhappy Reveal. Guess this is sorta like when "Andy Teaches Opie a Value"...label reading in the future might not ALWAYS be briars and bleakness.

Hope SOMETHING makes all of you as happy today as THIS made me--

Liquid Smoke, huh? Never thought of adding that to anything besides my BBQ recipe... I'll have to try it, thanks!

What a brilliant idea! Thanks for the information. I shared it in another thread where someone asked for a substitute for soy sauce :
