Hello. Been using Herbamare since I met my wife about 15 years ago.
In the family it is fondly known as Shani salt.
Made from sea salt, herbs and vegetables. Supposed to contain about one-third less regular salt. No preservative. Manufactured in France.

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member and @A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, I am with y'all. I really try not to eat any sugar but I live in the south and BBQ calls to me sometimes and that has a ton of sugar. I have learned to make it with reduced sugar and find I enjoy it just as much. I never tried honey in it maybe I should experiment with that. I have been using a little maple syrup now and again but I really try not to use that either. I have also experimented with Monk fruit sweetener and Stieva they are okay but leave an aftertaste. I also use Morton salt-free on very rare occasions but it does have a chemical taste. I am thinking I might try the Benson's if I can find it. I am not a fan of Mrs. Dash. They are just too bland. I am also going to try replacing salt with lemon or lemon zest to see how that works.

As to Laura Cruz's answer, I too gave up sugar and now use natural honey (we have a local gentleman who has his own beehives) to replace sugar. I even use it in my coffee.
