Recipes for high blood pressure that still taste of something

Most salt in a typical diet comes from packaged food, not the salt shaker. These recipes cook from whole ingredients and get their flavour from herbs, citrus, garlic and spices, in the spirit of the DASH diet.

What Gluten watches for: salt, stock cubes, soy sauce, cured meat, cheese and other high-sodium packaged foods.

High blood pressure cooking questions

How much sodium is in these recipes?

They go easy on salt and lean on herbs, citrus and spices instead. Many guidelines suggest under 2,300 mg a day, or 1,500 mg for some people; ask your doctor.

Is this the DASH diet?

They follow the same pattern: vegetables, fruit, whole grains, lean protein and less salt.

Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice. Recipes are checked against the restrictions you enter, but always check labels for allergens and cross-contact, and talk to your doctor or dietitian about your diet.
