Celebrate National More Herbs, Less Salt Day 2011!

Today is National More Herbs, Less Salt Day so I thought this was a great time to remind you of the Backyard Patch Salt-Substitute Grinder Jars and the fact that most of our Herb Mixes and all of our Herb Seasonings are salt-free.

Salt Substitute Grinder Jars

Our classic salt substitute blends with a new "twist."  They come in a grinder topped jar.  You receive a great combination of flavorful herbs that can grind right into dishes as you cook, or onto a completed meal just like salt or pepper grinders.  You also receive the nice long shelf-life associated with Backyard Patch herb blends.  These grinders also release the wonderful aroma of the herbs as they work! 

1.  Herby Salt Substitute


2. Savory Salt Substitute


3. Oniony Salt Substitute


4. Spicy Salt Substitute (NEWEST!)

Each Grinder Jar is re-fillable, so you can save the jar and help the environment.  They sell for $4.75 with refills priced at $3.50

Get yours today on our website.

Salt Free Herb Mixes

Most, but not all of our Herb mixes are salt-free.  When you use nice fresh herbs you can eliminate salt and don’t really miss it.  So here is a short list of our most popular salt free herb mixes for sauces, dips, cheese spreads and rubs.  We thought it might be a bit much to list all 27 salt-free blends, but you can check them all out on our Website.
