A process for preparing a reduced sodium salt composition comprises mixing sodium chloride with one or more sodium chloride substitute complexes such as potassium chloride or magnesium chloride, heating the so-formed mixture to form a melt, and cooling the melt to form a solid. The so-formed solid is a fused granular matrix of sodium chloride and one or more sodium chloride substitute complexes. An alternative process is provided in which the sodium chloride and the sodium chloride substitute complex are heated to the liquid phase before they are mixed. The solid matrix may be crushed to a desired particle size and used as an alternative to sea or rock salt in hand held salt mills. |
