Pure Forms ~ Who is in Control of the Sugar and Salt in Your Kitchen?

You are in control as a 'brainy gourmet'. How can you be in control? You can be by making good choices while shopping for food items. A brainy gourmet uses very little salt and or sugar to her cooking. She also uses foods in their original or 'pure' form: not packaged, not frozen, not canned as a per-concocted item i.e. canned soup.  It is wise to read labels, of course. But, if one uses food in their pure form, then label reading would not be so necessary.

Take a look again at the basic food item list. All can be bought in their pure form. All have healthy attributes and are low in added salt and sugar. Be frugal, make your own soup stock for cooking. Make your own sauces, you don't need canned soup. Use 'pure form' as often as possible and make your meals delicious!
