I ate some vegetarian hot dogs last week that came in a can. They only had 20 mg. of potassium in them. I think the sodium level was around 200 mg. They had 7 grams of protein. Does anyone eat these as part of their renal diet? They weren't bad, and they digest well.

Hi Whamo:
Whats the Brand Name of those Vegetarian Hot Dogs ? Where did you
purchase them ?
Would love to give them a try.

I never had any out of the can, but I have had ones in packaging a long time ago... I haven't seen them around... the only ones I have seen are tofu dogs, and those are not only nasty, but I've been told soy/tofu isn't a good diet choice (at least in my case?)

Yes - do tell Whamo! I'm curious!

They're called "Veja-Links' by Worthington, and I got them at a Clark's Health Food Store in Loma Linda, California. Loma Linda is a stronghold of the 7th Day Aventists (pardon my spelling), a religion that emphasizes vegetarian living. My wife works at a hospital they sponsor, and it's a really good hospital by the way. It's so much better than the average cookie-cutter, treat them like cattle hospitals we have in Southern California. They're $4.49 (health food store prices) for 10 servings. They have 50 calories, 3 gms. of fat, 0 cholesterol, 180 mg. of sodium, 20 mg. of potassium, and 1 gram of carbohydrate. They're distributed by Kellogg Sales Co.

Whamo, it seems like its worth a try. I live really close to Loma Linda University and they have a grocery store on campus.
