When I eat avocado toast, I put a lot of salt on it and it really brings out a salty flavor. When I eat a cream cheese bagel, it already has that same salty flavor even though the cream cheese I used doesn’t contain almost any salt. Why is that?
In: Chemistry
Do you know the brand of cream cheese? Low sodium doesn’t necessarily mean low salt. Potassium salts taste salty without the Sodium and is pretty common as a substitute. So it’s likely there’s either this, or something else being used as a salt substitute.
