First of all, how can this recipe already have 3 stars when there have been no reviews yet. Second, 1 pita round has 322 mg of sodium. I realize your recipe says there are only 148 mg of sodium per 2 wedges, but who’s going to eat just 2 wedges.
Hi Sheila – any user on the Kidney Community Kitchen can choose a star rating for a recipe without leaving a review. Unfortunately though, to manage the sodium intake for this recipe the recommended portion size needs to be respected. It’s hard to have just two!
