Comparison to Other Foods

Vinegar has about as much sodium in every 1-tablespoon serving as a cup of cooked whole-wheat spaghetti, a cup of legumes such as lentils or black beans, a cup of raw mushrooms, an ounce of avocado, a fresh pear or a cup of fruit like blackberries or bananas. Foods that the USDA reports have no detectable amount of sodium include oils like vegetable or olive oil, an ounce of plain nuts and citrus fruit such as grapefruit or oranges. High-sodium foods -- those that contain 400 milligrams or more sodium in every serving -- are primarily ready-made, processed, canned and prepackaged foods, including cured meats like ham or bacon, canned soup, pasta mixes, salted snack items and fast-food entrees.
