When seasoning with salt you have to be very careful, the dish will quickly become salty. In particular, it is important to know that salt increases the cooking temperature of water, thus removing the liquid from meat and some vegetables. Another characteristic of salt is its preservative property. It dissolves completely in liquid and gains concentration as soon as this liquid has evaporated. This is also how the principle of sea salt production works. This also explains why if you season a dish with salt too early, you can quickly spoil it. Nevertheless, salt is one of the oldest remedies of mankind. Its health-promoting properties are extremely diverse. Salt not only regulates our fluid balance, but also the hormone balance and the internal organs. The human body consists of 75 percent salty liquid, so salt is indispensable for maintaining our vital functions.
