What it is
Morton Lite Salt is a blend of sodium chloride and potassium chloride. This combination is designed to reduce the amount of sodium in your diet while still providing a salty flavor. It is a common pantry staple for those looking for a lower-sodium alternative to regular table salt. The potassium chloride contributes a slightly different taste profile compared to pure sodium chloride.
