Myth or Fact? Sea Salt has less sodium than Table Salt?
First up, we addressed a great question we hear from our clients a lot – does sea salt have less sodium than table salt.
This is such a confusing topic and I’ll share with you in this blog and video why this is so confusing.
Okay, first, do you love every single word in the recipe name? OMG yes! Butternut is a good friend of mine and a long-time Thanksgiving meal staple growing up. If you don’t know agnolotti, it is a type of ravioli – ravioli and I also go way back thanks to Chef Boyardee and this great restaurant in Brooklyn that I believe was called Cinzino’s (or something like that…).

Um, so it is safe to say I was just a bit excited going into this recipe.

Oh, yeah, without having to do anything except buy and use this magical new product.
It makes me sad because of all the bullshit out there and people peddling this type of bullshit should be ashamed of themselves.
