FOOD TRIVIA

Salt is a unique substance that brings its own flavour to

Foods as well as heightening the flavour of other foods.  It is

probably the world's oldest preservative and seasoning.

Table salt is available in the plain and the more highly recommended iodised formulas.  Taste and salts you go.

If you are cooking for someone on a salt-restricted diet,

concentrate instead on enriching flavours with herbs,

spies and aromatic vegetables.

Have a good weekend, everyone.
