Salt
Salt is a common ingredient found in many foods. It is a mineral that is usually extracted from the sea or mined from salt deposits found in the earth. Salt is a vital component in cooking and food preparation because it enhances the flavour of dishes.
Salt is made by evaporating seawater or extracting it from salt mines. The process involves collecting the salt crystals that are left behind after the water evaporates. These crystals are then cleaned and processed to remove impurities before being ready for consumption.
Salt appears on food labels due to its ability to enhance the taste of food. It is used in various food products such as bread, cheese, and processed meats as a natural preservative. Salt also plays a role in baking by helping dough rise and improve the texture of baked goods like cakes and biscuits. However, consuming too much salt can have negative health effects, so it's important to be mindful of how much salt is in the foods we eat.
