Is there a method for desalinating bacon?

Question

Bacon contains a rather large amount of salt which can pose problems for people who are trying to find ways to reduce salt in their diet.

Is there some method that can be used to reduce the amount of salt in bacon?

Answer

If you're buying bacon at the store, and trying to reduce the actual sodium in the product you've just purchased - you're out of luck. Like most things, you can't un-salt it. You can reduce the flavor, but in your case, the sodium is still there.

Alternative options include:

• Buy reduced sodium bacon
• Make reduced sodium bacon
• Use less bacon, in order to reduce the total sodium intake.
