Salt Tubes Display Kit - How Much Salt Is In My Food
SALT TUBE DISPLAY KIT - HOW MUCH SALT?
How much salt are you eating? Yes, even if you never use the salt shaker!
The average American eats two to four times the recommended salt intake every day! Too much sodium can raise blood pressure as well as keep blood pressure high in people with hypertension.
How Much Salt? will help you counsel people of all ages to make wise decisions by allowing children, teens, or adults to see how much salt is in their food. Because consumers are familiar with salt, sodium values have been converted to salt for display in the test tubes.
Twelve tubes contain the following foods:
Average American Salt Intake
Pork Chops
Recommended Salt Intake
Ham
Amount of Salt Needed Daily
Fast Food Cheeseburger
Canned Chicken Noodle Soup
Potatoes
Homemade Soup
Potato Chips
Canned Chow Mein
A Typical Picnic Meal (Hot Dog, Chips & Beans)
This set comes with a brochure with information and teaching ideas. 10 are about 1/2" in diameter, with two larger tubes being 1" in diameter. Please store away from high heat sources or sunlight.
There are so many ways you can use your salt tubes.
You can display real food next to each tube.
Or add more popular foods from your area and have consumers measure the salt by the teaspoon to go next to each one.
Compare a real potato next to potato chips for a great lesson on refined versus whole foods.
