Why YSK: consuming too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. In my country (USA), the average daily sodium intake is over 3,300mg, exceeding the recommended maximum of 2,300mg. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an even lower maximum of 2,000mg.
Also: with the rising cost of food, being mindful of additives that increase sell weight is important.
This is why you want to look for “air-chilled” when it comes to chickens. Aside from paying more for a higher sodium product, you’ll get better browning on your meat with air-chilled.
That and I recently purchased frozen chicken breasts from Costco. They were huge and once thawed and cooked they were still larger and had more weight than a usual store brand chicken breast.
