Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Lemon Pepper - NOT
I bought some lemon pepper seasoning, and sauteed some cut up chicken breasts. I proceeded to season with the lemon pepper seasoning, while adding a little sour cream and heavy cream to make delightful light sauce, threw in a handful of shredded cheese, and all looked great. Until I tried it. Little did I know that the first ingredient in Lemon Pepper seasoning is SALT! Arrgh! It was WAY WAY too salty. Although I had to throw most of it away, this was a neat trick to keep portion control down. I pitched the rest of the lemon pepper seasoning, will probably try to make my own next time. Just wanted to share this lesson with ya'll.

Just wanted to share this lesson with ya'll. That's a bummer. The lemon pepper that I have contains no salt. /shrug Caveat Emptor > That's a bummer. The lemon pepper that I have contains no salt. /shrug > Caveat Emptor I have yet to see a "lemon pepper" that contains any lemon flavoring. Every one I've ever seen contains citric acid instead and doesn't taste a bit like lemon except for being sour. They taste more like they have that sour-straw candy powder in them.

I use it in place of salt and it is great. On baked chicken it is quite good. The lemon pepper with no salt is terrible!

Little did I know that the first ingredient in Lemon Pepper > seasoning is SALT! Arrgh! It was WAY WAY too salty. EVERY lemon pepper I've seen has sugar, molasses or some such in it. I'm trying to cut out all of the hidden sugars. Something that I've thought of: Make your own blend! * dried lemon peel * cracked three peppers (white, pink, black) * other herbs Put it all in another spice jar and use that. For my marinade for chicken and fish, I just use lemon juice, butter and cracked pepper. > Until I tried it. Little did I know that the first ingredient in Lemon Pepper > seasoning is SALT! Arrgh! It was WAY WAY too salty. It really depends on the brand you buy. I have one that has very very little salt in it and a large amount of lemon peel. It has an amazing lemon flavor and I can use a lot of it without overpowering the food with salt. It's from 'Zadies' and I think it is a local midwest brand. So keep looking, you can find one without a ton of salt. While you're looking at labels check them for sugar, some add that too. Or, if you feel ambitious, surf the web for recipies and make them to taste without the salt and sugar.

Little did I know that the first ingredient in Lemon Pepper >seasoning is SALT! Arrgh! It was WAY WAY too salty. I have your solution. Penzey's has a number of salt-free seasonings. Unfortunately, I can't pull them up on the search engine. You can find them by looking at the Gift Boxes section. http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysfloridaseason.html If this doesn't work, go to the search engine, and type in Florida Seasoned Pepper.
