good info, nuwanee…are there any specific brands of dried foods that you would recommend (that have less chemicals/additives over others)?

No particular brands come to mind, although Trader Joes and the bulk stuff at your local food market are usually good bets. Check the ingredients lists on the labels on the back of the packaging and look for brands that have a minimal amount of ingredients. things like salt, chemical names you can’t pronounce, and sugar additives like corn syrup, HFCS, and evaporated cane juice are things to watch out for.

I look for low sodium and sugar on the label… I dont have a “favorite brand” it all depends on what you are buying..

you look for stuff that has the marketing “Low Sugar” and “Low sodium” on the label or you check the ingredients list and nutrition facts? the marketing stuff can be really misleading cause it isn’t regulated. food companies can put those phrases on anything they want because there are no guidelines they have to follow in order to put that on the packaging. the FDA is starting to get saavy and talk about regulating that stuff but it isn’t quite there yet.

 
Pete… i always checks the ingredients list and nutrition facts on the back…
 
When i go grocery shopping I usually know what i am planning to buy because i research certain foods before I go… Good point though.
