This has a distinct aroma and yet it only brings out the original flavor of the foods you sprinkle it on. It does what a good salt substitute should do which is to bring out your favorite flavors. Actually, it seems to do the job even better than salt itself. Most of the elderly folks that live around here prefer this to salt by far because it doesn't have that tingling aftertaste. I would recommend buying this if you can't find this at your local grocery store or supermarket even though the shipping is more expensive than the product.

I began using Chef Paul's Magic Seasoning blends 3 yrs ago. This salt free product is THE BOMB.
Plenty of flavor--but no salt. It's perfect for adding that extra kick to a recipe without making it taste too salty.
I use it in my traditional Chex Party Mix this time of year. It's great on chicken, hamburgers, just about any type of meat.

LOVE IT

My husband loves salt. But, he also loves this product. It is the only salt-free product that he likes. Since he has Congestive Heart failure, it is important for him to leave off salt.

Also, I use this product as the seasoning when I make cheese substitutes. It makes the cheese have a great flavor. YUM!!!

This salt-free seasoning blend is a great product for those that sanction their salt consumption. It has great flavor and it is much less expensive via Amazon.com than in-store purchase (if you can find it).

This is the best sodium free seasoning I have ever tasted.
I'm enjoying eggs and meat again.

Tried Paul Prudhome's Salt Free Magic Seasoning and it's a complete dud. Adds nothing remotely salt like to the flavor. Hard even to detect the chile pepper that is supposed to flavor it. It is as if it had been on the shelf for 10 years and the spices lost their zip, but the expiration date shows 2014 so it's fresh.
Mrs. Dash is by no means great but it is far, far superior
Do not waste your money.

This wasn't available at Amazon in August 2010 so I bought it online elsewhere. I bought it based on the 5-star rave reviews here.

I have to say I'm disappointed. This product is basically a blend of peppers with a little sweetener added. I find it kind of yucky. I realize everyone has different tastes. I wanted a salt substitute to sprinkle on a bowl of brown minute-rice, which I eat often. This seasoning is not remotely as tasty as table salt, or as tasty as Onion salt. To be honest, Onion salt (from Ralphs aka Kroger) tastes 10 times better.

For this review, I sprinkled some of it on a paper plate in front of me. I dipped my finger into it right now and tasted it. First impression is a little bit of very light sweetness, followed immediately by a bitter taste in the mouth, then some pepper burn on the tongue, creeping back in the throat. I've got to drink some water. I also tried it on rice 3 times earlier in the week.

I'm a little irritated. It doesn't deserve five 5-star reviews. You can't sprinkle this all over buttered rice and get a nice tasting meal, like you can with Onion salt. Maybe Chef Paul has something better than this (that is low salt), but this is not the wondrous, magical panacea that I hoped it would be.

Here are the ingredients from the label:
Chiles, toasted onion, brown sugar, dehydrated garlic, green bell pepper, dehydrated onion, red bell pepper, paprika, spices, natural flavor, vinegar powder. No MSG. No Additives. No Preservatives. Calories: 0 Sodium: 0 Total Fat: 0

Good product since I can't take a lot of sodium or potassium. The product adds good flavor to the food!
