Like so many others, we love bacon but must avoid it for health reasons. So when we heard of this product -- and its companion spread, Baconnaise -- we ordered every flavor made, for ourselves and for gifts to family and friends, from Amazon and from the company website.

We weren't disappointed. Every flavor is authentically, satisfyingly "bacony". And despite the name, it's not at all salty; low-sodium versions are available, which means bacon lovers (even vegetarians) can satisfy their yearnings without the health risks associated with heavy animal fats.

BTW, one thing we especially appreciate about Bacon Salt's makers (two high-tech guys who, over a meal, confessed that they'd always wished everything could taste like bacon, then funded their venture with $10K won on "America's Funniest Home Videos") is their "Operation Bacon Salt," in which orders shipped from the company to APO addresses sell for half-price. It's refreshing to find a firm that will not only ship to APO addresses (not all do), but will actually do something generous for our men and women who serve in the military. It's a cool (and legal) way, too, to get that lovely, bacony flavor to military personnel who serve in countries where bacon and other pork products are not permitted.

Try all the flavors. And try the yummy Baconnaise, too; it comes in regular and "lite" versions, and lets you make a low-calorie, low-sodium, zero cholesterol BLT that will just about make any bacon-lover's day. It's also wonderful on a baked potato.

We have no commercial interest in the company, and do (and will continue to do) most of our shopping on Amazon. We're just big fans of Bacon Salt products, happy to see their products available here.

this is the best thing to have when you are stuck on a limited diet. it is exactly bacon flavored, not kind of or sort of, but spot on. a must have for popcorn snackers.

Some reviews will tell you this is the best spice others will say this is fake tasting. To me and my bacon-loving-wife it's a fair substitute. If you use this "salt" you will get a bacon flavor and you will get a little salt. This product will give you a bacon flavor. The dishes I have used it most in is my baked potato soup. The soup turns orange, but I do get a bacon flavor without having to add bacon. This can be a good substitute when bacon is not around. It will not take the place of bacon in all cooking. The part of the bacon that adds the most flavor is the fat. This can not be mimicked. Also, one of the things bacon adds is texture.

As I have said: good substitute. It's also a good novelty item or something for the in-laws to talk about during supper.

I have only had time to try one of these so far, and wasn't overly impressed with the taste. I consider myself a bacon expert, as I could sit down and eat good bacon until I explode, but thought the taste just wasn't what I had hoped for from this product.

I was pretty excited when I heard about Bacon Salt, and I couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately when it arrived I found it having too much of a fake MSG flavor. When tried on french fries, it tastes exactly like BBQ potato chips, not bacon-y enough.

Our family loves bacon and we love all four of these flavors of bacon salt! My husband doesn't tolerate MSG so he uses the Natural flavor. So glad they have that option for him. We love this salt sprinkled on popcorn and cooked vegetables. Excellent for weight loss as you get the bacon flavor without the calories.

Good stuff! I bought the four pack sampler... Original, Natural, Smoked, and Peppered. The Peppered is my favorite as it has a nice black pepper flavor, but there really isn't a big difference in the flavors that I can tell for the other three. I still really like it and eat all four on about everything I can think of... including popcorn. I do wish that it had a stronger bacon flavor and a more discernible difference in accompanying flavors though.

I saw this item on tv and as one who tries to eat healthy, I don't eat bacon often but I love it. When I saw no calories, I thought it was a godsend. I have tried it. It's not bad, but it's not bacon. BLT's are definately not BLT's with it. It is too salty for that. I do think it is fine to add a little flavor to your cooking but it seemed to have more salt than bacon flavor. As excited as I was to get it home to try it out, it has remained in my cabinet rarely used. I love bacon...REAL bacon...but this will do in soups and veggies.

I'm not sure what I was really expecting when I ordered these, but they don't seem to live up to what was said about them. They sort of have a bacon flavor, which is nice. But, it only works when I am able to get the stuff out of the container. It tends to get clogged.

Love this stuff the Hickory is my favorite may not taste exactly like bacon but pretty darn close!
