15 Surprising Foods High in Sodium and What to Eat Instead

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is a good source of calcium and an excellent source of protein, but it’s also relatively high in salt. A 1/2-cup (113-gram) serving of cottage cheese averages 350 mg of sodium, or 15% of the RDI. The salt in cottage cheese not only enhances flavor but also contributes to texture and functions as a preservative. Therefore, you generally won’t find low-sodium versions.

However, one study found that rinsing cottage cheese under running water for three minutes, then draining it, reduced sodium content by 63%.
